Abstract excerpt
The cob operon encodes functions needed for the biosynthesis of adenosylcobalamin (Ado-B12). Propanediol induces transcription of the cob operon and the neighboring pdu operon, which encodes proteins for the B12-dependent degradation of propanediol. Expression of the cob (but not the pdu) operon is repressed by exogenous cyanocobalamin. Evidence is provided that cob operon repression is signaled by internally...
