A binding site for integration host factor (IHF) was identified upstream of the aceBAK promoter. Under inducing conditions, IHF activates aceB::lacZ expression by opposing IclR repression. In contrast, IHF has little effect on aceB::lacZ expression under repressing conditions. The ability of IHF to relieve repression under inducing but not repressing conditions allows this protein to amplify the induction of aceBAK.
在aceBAK启动子上游鉴定出了整合宿主因子(IHF)的一个结合位点。在诱导条件下,IHF通过对抗IclR的抑制作用来激活aceB::lacZ的表达。相比之下,在抑制条件下IHF对aceB::lacZ的表达几乎没有影响。IHF在诱导而非抑制条件下解除抑制的能力使得该蛋白能够增强aceBAK的诱导作用。
