Genetic analysis of the Sinorhizobium meliloti BacA protein: differential effects of mutations on phenotypes.

abstract：:It was previously shown that the Rhodobacter capsulatus NtrC enhancer-binding protein activates the R. capsulatus housekeeping RNA polymerase but not the Escherichia coli RNA polymerase at the nifA1 promoter. We have tested the hypothesis that this activity is due to the high G+C content of the -10 sequence. A compara...
