H. Ohnishi et al., ANALYSIS OF PROMOTER REGION OF THE PECTIN LYASE GENE FROM ERWINIA-CAROTOVORA ER, Bioscience, biotechnology, and biochemistry, 58(2), 1994, pp. 432-433
A pectin lyase defective mutant was constructed from Erwinia car otovo
ra Er by transposon Tn5 insertion mutagenesis to analyze the promoter
region of the pnl gene, which had been cloned. The promoter of pnl is
between -140 and -74 upstream of the structural gene of pnl and appear
s not to be regulated by Lex A.
