R. Utsumi et al., MUTATIONAL ANALYSIS OF THE FIC PROMOTER RECOGNIZED BG RPOS (SIGMA(38)) IN ESCHERICHIA-COLI, Bioscience, biotechnology, and biochemistry, 59(8), 1995, pp. 1573-1575
fic gene expression at the stationary phase is dependent on RpoS (sigm
a(38)). For this paper, the fic promoter (P fic) mutants were isolated
; C at the position -34 was changed into T. They did not show the stat
ionary phase-specific expression dependent on RpoS in vivo. Furthermor
e, it was confirmed that they were recognized by E sigma(70) as effici
ently as E sigma(38) ill vitro.
