SlyA Protein Activates fimB Gene Expression and Type 1 Fimbriation in Escherichia coli K-12

We have demonstrated that SlyA activates fimB expression and hence type 1 fimbriation, a virulence factor in Escherichia coli. SlyA is shown to bind to two operator sites (O(SA1) and O(SA2)), situated between 194 and 167 base pairs upstream of the fimB transcriptional start site. fimB expression is...
