tauABCD operon and associated TUs in Escherichia coli K-12 genome




Operon      
Name: tauABCD
This page displays every known transcription unit of this operon and their known regulation.


Transcription unit          
Name: tauABCD
Gene(s): tauA, tauB, tauC, tauD   Genome Browser M3D Gene expression COLOMBOS
Note(s): The mRNA produced by the tauABCD operon has been observed mainly in the cellular membrane 31540875.
The transcription of the tauA gene is induced during the first 24 h after the induction of nitrogen starvation 32571968.
