Abstract
Transcription of the Bacillus subtilis srfA operon is dependent on the transcriptional activator ComA. Mutational analysis of the srfA regul atory region suggests that two regions of dyad symmetry upstream of th e srfA promoter may function in transcriptional activation by facilita ting a cooperative interaction between ComA dimers.
