Transcription of the xyl operon is controlled in Bacillus subtilis by tandem overlapping operators spaced by four base-pairs.

Journal of molecular biology - 28 Oct 1994

Dahl M K, Degenkolb J, Hillen W

Abstract excerpt

The expression of xylose utilization in Bacillus subtilis is regulated at the level of transcription by xylose dependent Xyl repressor-xyl operator interaction. We have structurally and functionally characterized the binding sites of Xyl repressor in the xyl regulatory region. Methylation and hydroxyl radical protection and ethylation interference of binding suggests tandem overlapping xyl operators spaced by...
