Gene expression in bacteria relies on promoter recognition by the DNA-dependent RNA
polymerase and subsequent transcription initiation. Bacterial cells are able to tune their …

Transcription in most bacteria is tightly regulated in order to facilitate bacterial adaptation to
different environments, and transcription factors play a key role in this. Here we give a brief …

Autotransporters are secreted proteins with multiple functions produced by a variety of Gram-
negative bacteria. In Enterobacteriaceae, a subgroup of these autotransporters are the …

Gram-negative enteropathogenic bacteria use a variety of strategies to cause disease in the
human host and gene regulation in some form is typically a part of the strategy. This article …

Transcription factors respond to multilevel stimuli and co-occupy promoter regions of target
genes to activate RNA polymerase (RNAP) in a cooperative manner. To decipher the …

The GIL01 bacteriophage is a temperate phage that infects the insect pathogen Bacillus
thuringiensis. During the lytic cycle, phage gene transcription is initiated from three …

Bacterial promoters are usually formed by multiple cis-regulatory elements recognized by a
plethora of transcriptional factors (TFs). From those, global regulators are key elements …

This study examined the prevalence of urovirulence genes in Uropathogenic Escherichia
coli (UPEC) isolates obtained from Jordanian patients. In addition, antibiotic susceptibility …

Most Escherichia coli overexpression vectors used for recombinant protein production (RPP)
depend on organic inducers, for example, sugars or simple conjugates. However, these can …

Presents an integrated view of the expression of bacterial genetic information, genome
architecture and function, and bacterial physiology and pathogenesis This book blends …
