Abstract excerpt
Transcription of the proU operon of Escherichia coli is induced several hundred-fold upon growth at elevated osmolarity, but the underlying mechanisms are incompletely understood. Three cis elements appear to act additively to mediate proU osmoresponsivity: (i) sequences around a promoter, P1, which is situated 250 bp upstream of the first structural gene proV; (ii) sequences around another (sigma 70-dependent)...
