Growth of Pseudomonas putida (pWWO) on alkylbenzoates requires the expression of the
meta pathway operon, which is mediated by the XylS protein after binding of a benzoate …

Regulated promoters are an important basic genetic tool allowing, for example, gene-
dosage and gene depletion studies. We have previously described a cumate-inducible …

Transcription from promoter Pu of the upper catabolic operon of the Pseudomonas putida
TOL plasmid which specifies conversion of toluene/xylenes to benzoate/toluates is activated …

The interactions between the σ 54-containing RNA polymerase (σ 54-RNAP) and the region
of the Pseudomonas putida Pu promoter spanning from the enhancer to the binding site for …

The DNA sequences within the Pm promoter/operator region of the meta operon of the TOL
plasmid of Pseudomonas putida, which confer XylS-mediated responsiveness to substituted …

The toluate catabolic operon carried by the TOL plasmid pWWO of Pseudomonas putida is
positively regulated by the benzoate-responsive XylS protein which, when activated …

The σ 54-factor controls expression of a variety of genes in response to environmental cues.
Much previous work has implicated the nucleotide alarmone ppGpp and its co-factor DksA in …

The activity of the ς 54-promoter Pu of Pseudomonas putida was examined in vitro with a
DNA template lacking upstream activating sequences, such that RNA polymerase can be …

Pseudomonas putida TOL plasmid pWW0 catabolic genes are clustered into two operons.
The first, the upper operon, is controlled by the xylR regulatory gene, whereas the second …

The ATP-dependent multimerization process undergone by the σ54-dependent activator
XylR of the TOL plasmid pWW0 of Pseudomonas putida when bound to the upstream …
