Light-induced carotenogenesis in Myxococcus xanthus: DNA sequence analysis of the carR region.
Molecular microbiology - 1 Nov 1993

Abstract excerpt
The carR region encodes a light-inducible promoter, a negative regulator of the promoter and a trans-acting activator that controls the light-inducible Myxococcus xanthus carotenoid biosynthesis regulon. DNA sequence analysis revealed, downstream of the promoter, three translationally coupled genes, carQ, carR and carS. Sequencing of mutations demonstrated that carR encoded the negative regulator and was an...
