RegulonDB RegulonDB 10.10: Operon Form
   

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




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


Transcription unit          
Name: norR
Gene(s): norR   Genome Browser M3D Gene expression COLOMBOS
Note(s): In assay experiments, it was demonstrated that disruption of any one of the three sites of the NorR transcriptional regulator prevented autogenous repression of norR transcription. All three sites are required not only for activation of the norVW operon but also for repression of the norR gene, since NorR acts cooperatively Tucker NP,2006.
