Identification of a Caulobacter crescentus operon encoding hrcA, involved in negatively regulating heat-inducible transcription, and the chaperone gene grpE.

Abstract excerpt

In response to elevated temperature, both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells increase expression of a small family of chaperones. The regulatory network that functions to control the transcription of the heat shock genes in bacteria includes unique structural motifs in the promoter region of these genes and the expression of alternate sigma factors. One of the conserved structural motifs, the inverted repeat CIRCE...
