Abstract excerpt
The Azotobacter vinelandii mod locus, which is involved in high-affinity molybdate transport and the early event in Mo metabolism, consists of two divergently transcribed operons, modG and modEABC. modA, modB and modC encode the components of the high-affinity molybdate transporter, and modG encodes a Mo-binding protein. High concentrations of Mo repressed transcription of both operons. The modEABC operon was...
