Additional information
Expression and regulation
- Operon:
- Additional information:
- The mRNA has a long 5' leader region (187 N). This may indicate RNA-based regulation PubMed
- the leader mRNA is subject to cleavage by RNase Y, this results in limited expression of cwlO PubMed
- there is a SigB-dependent anti-sense transcript which is expressed in the stationary phase PubMed
- number of protein molecules per cell (minimal medium with glucose and ammonium): 207 PubMed
- number of protein molecules per cell (complex medium with amino acids, without glucose): 200 PubMed
Biological materials
- Mutant:
- Expression vector:
- lacZ fusion:
- GFP fusion:
- two-hybrid system:
- Antibody:
