pstSCAB-phoU operon and associated TUs in Escherichia coli K-12 genome




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


Transcription unit          
Name: phoU
Gene(s): phoU   Genome Browser M3D Gene expression COLOMBOS
Note(s): The expression of the gene phoU is increased under acidic growth conditions in aerobiosis but not in microaerobiosis Marzan LW,2013 The increased expression appears to be caused by the transcription factor PhoB Marzan LW,2013
The phoU gene is upregulated by long-term (8 to 12 h) exposure of E. coli to some biocides Merchel Piovesan Pereira B, Wang X, Tagkopoulos I,2020.
Reference(s): [1] Spira B., et al., 2010
Promoter
Name: phoUp
+1: 3907665
Sigma Factor: Sigma70 Sigmulon
Distance from start of the gene: 87
Sequence: ggctgcgcgttgttccgaccacacggcgtttatgtacctgggcgaattgattgagttcagCaacacggacgatctgttcac
                             -35                      -10   +1                   
Note(s): The phoUp promoter makes a modest contribution in the transcription of the gene phoU. The main contributor in transcription of this gene is the pstSp promoter, which is located upstream of the gene pstS Spira B,2010
The phoUp promoter appears to be modulated negatively by RpoS Spira B,2010
