Transcription unit          
Name: hlyE
Gene(s): hlyE   Genome Browser M3D Gene expression COLOMBOS
Note(s): SlyA activates hlyE trasnscription by antagonizing the negative action of the H-NS protein |CITS: [10027972], [14996792]|. H-NS prevents binding of RNA polymerase to the hlyE promoter. On the other hand, SlyA allows binding of RNA polymerase but inhibits binding of H-NS |CITS: [17892462]|. The location of the sites for SlyA reported by |CITS: [17892462]| are unusual for typical bacterial transcription. However, it has been shown that some other S. typhimurium genes that are positively regulated by SlyA contain SlyA-binding sites downstream from the transcriptional start site, including pagC and ugtL |CITS: [15813739], [15208313]|.
FNR and CRP are in competition for binding at the hlyE regulatory region, and FNR ocuppies the site more frequently than CRP even under aerobic conditions, but under such conditions FNR is not an active protein and so this protein cannot activate trancription of hlyE as efficiently as CRP. The expression of hlyE CRP-mediated activation requires the presence of Hns.

Note(s): 1During anaerobic growth Fnr is important for hlyE expression. 1Hns modulates the hlyE expression both positively and negatively; this protein enhances the CRP-mediated expression of hlyE , but it inhibits the FNR-mediated hlyE expression.
2Hns modulates the hlyE expression both positively and negatively; this protein enhances the CRP-mediated expression of hlyE , but it inhibits the FNR-mediated hlyE expression.
3Hns modulates the hlyE expression both positively and negatively; this protein enhances the CRP-mediated expression of hlyE , but it inhibits the FNR-mediated hlyE expression.

4Hns modulates the hlyE expression both positively and negatively; this protein enhances the CRP-mediated expression of hlyE , but it inhibits the FNR-mediated hlyE expression.
5The almost-to-40-bp size of the footprinting suggests that two dimers of SlyA are binding.
