Expression and regulation

• Operon: oppA-oppB-oppC-oppD-oppF PubMed

• Expression browser: oppC PubMed

• Sigma factor:

• Regulation:
  • expressed in the absence of good nitrogen sources (glutamine or ammonium) (TnrA) PubMed
  • repressed during exponential growth (ScoC) PubMed

• Regulatory mechanism:
  • TnrA: transcription activation PubMed
  • ScoC: transcription repression PubMed
  • CodY: transcription repression, no derepression occurs, however, in a codY mutant, due to increased repression by ScoC PubMed
