Abstract excerpt
We have identified proteins that control the expression of slpA, the gene encoding the crystalline surface layer of Thermus thermophilus HB8. We cloned three genes from T. thermophilus that specifically repressed the expression of the slpA promoter in Escherichia coli. The proteins encoded by two of them (Rep6 and Rep29) bound in vitro to the slpA promoter, while that from the third (Rep54) bound specifically to...
