RegulonDB RegulonDB 10.10: Operon Form
   

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




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


Transcription unit       
Name: narU
Gene(s): narU   Genome Browser M3D Gene expression COLOMBOS
Note(s): Activation of the narUZYWV cluster, which is poorly conserved even in Escherichia, represents a novel strategy to significantly improve osmotic stress tolerance. Precise control of the composition of OmpR-regulated membrane proteins is crucial for E. coli K-12 MG1655 viability Seo SW, Gao Y, Kim D, Szubin R, Yang J, Cho BK, Palsson BO,2017.
