Abstract excerpt
Regulation of colanic acid polysaccharide capsule synthesis in Escherichia coli requires the proteins RcsC and RcsB, in addition to several other proteins. By sequence similarity, these two proteins appear to be members of the two-component sensor-effector regulatory family found in bacteria. The present study characterizes the functional domains of RcsB. We have isolated mutations in rcsB that are able to...
