Abstract excerpt
Transcriptional regulation of the pap genes, which encode fimbrial adhesins in uropathogenic Escherichia coli, depends on an upstream activating region. This region contains binding sites for a transcription factor, PapB, which is a member of a growing family of putative regulatory proteins found in several virulence-associated fimbrial gene systems. To assess the nature of the PapB binding sites, we studied...
