Abstract excerpt
The XylR protein encoded by pWW0, the TOL (toluene biodegradation) plasmid of Pseudomonas putida, activates at a distance the transcription of Pu and Ps, which are the two sigma(54)-dependent promoters of the plasmid, but it also downregulates its own sigma(70)-promoter, Pr, which divergently overlaps the upstream activating sites of Ps. All regulatory elements that control Pr activity have been faithfully...
