Transcription of the locus of enterocyte effacement (LEE) genes in enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) is regulated by the LEE-encoded Ler and GrlR/GrlA proteins as well as the non-LEE-encoded regulator QseA. This work demonstrates that GrlR/GrlA activate LEE2 transcription in a Ler-independent fashion, whereas transcription of grlRA is activated by QseA in both Ler-dependent and -independent manners.
肠出血性大肠杆菌(EHEC)中肠上皮细胞脱落位点(LEE)基因的转录受LEE编码的Ler和GrlR/GrlA蛋白以及非LEE编码的调节因子QseA调控。这项研究表明,GrlR/GrlA以不依赖Ler的方式激活LEE2转录,而grlRA的转录则由QseA以依赖和不依赖Ler的方式激活。
