Abstract excerpt
The dctA gene, coding for the dicarboxylate transport protein, has an inducible promoter dependent on activation by the two-component sensor-regulator pair DctB and DctD. LacZ fusion analysis indicates that there is a single promoter for dctB and dctD. The dctA promoter is also induced by nitrogen limitation, an effect that requires DctB-DctD and NtrC. DctB alone is able to detect dicarboxylates in the absence of...
