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




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


Transcription unit          
Gene(s): dsbG   Genome Browser M3D Gene expression COLOMBOS
Note(s): Expression of dsbG is activated by OxyR. This is also true for the expression of the divergently transcribed ahpC. The intergenic region between dsbG and ahpC carries two binding sites for OxyR, a dsbG-proximal site, located 54 bp upstream of the dsbG start codon, and an ahpC-proximal site, located 290 bp upstream of the dsbG start codon Zheng M,2001
Northern blotting and primer extension assays showed that OxyR binding to the ahpC-proximal site leads to the induction of both dsbG and ahpC transcripts, while OxyR binding to the dsbG-proximal site leads to the induction of a second ahpC transcript. This transcript of ahpC and the transcript of dsbG overlap by over 100 nucleotides Zheng M,2001
