Pleiotropic effects of a mutation in rfaC on Escherichia coli hemolysin.
Infection and immunity - 1 Jun 1997
Bauer M E, Welch R A
Abstract excerpt
Several genes involved in the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) biosynthetic pathway have been shown to affect the expression or activity of Escherichia coli hemolysin (Hly), a secreted cytotoxin that is the prototype of the RTX family of toxins. To further study this relationship, E. coli K-12 strains harboring mutations in the LPS biosynthetic genes rfaS, rfaQ, rfaJ, rfaP, and rfaC were transformed with a recombinant...
