RECONSTRUCTION OF MECHANISMS REGULATING THE EXPRESSION OF THE ESCHERICHIA COLI YFIA GENE UNDER STRESS CONDITIONS by T. M. Khlebodarova, D. Yu. Oshchepkov, N. V. Tikunova, I. V. Babkin, A. D. Gruzdev, V. A. Likhoshvai

“…The regulatory region of the yfiA gene was searched for potential TF binding sites, and highly reliable recognition was predicted for TFs MarA, IscR, MetJ, PurR, and SoxS, which directly or indirectly participate in the response of the gene to oxidative stress, and for CRP, a global regulator of carbohydrate catabolism. The presence of binding sites for CRP, MarA, and SoxS in the E. coli yfiA promoter was confirmed by electrophoretic mobility shift assay with purified recombinant TFs. …”
