Use of the Lactococcal <i>nisA</i> Promoter To Regulate Gene Expression in Gram-Positive Bacteria: Comparison of Induction Level and Promoter Strength
1 Aug 1998
Abstract excerpt
We characterized the regulated activity of the lactococcal nisA promoter in strains of the gram-positive species Streptococcus pyogenes, Streptococcus agalactiae, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Enterococcus faecalis, and Bacillus subtilis. nisA promoter activity was dependent on the proteins NisR and NisK, which constitute a two-component signal transduction system that responds to the extracellular inducer nisin. The...
