The Escherichia coli BarA-UvrY two-component system, which controls adaptation via the CsrB and CsrC sRNAs, is induced at the entry of the stationary phase by an unknown stimulus. Using a csrB-lacZ fusion, we demonstrated that the factors RelA, SpoT and LuxS, previously suggested to act on orthologues of this system, have no role in BarA-UvrY induction. However, using a transposon screen, we identified the hypothetical protein YhdA as a new regulator of CsrB and CsrC expression. The YhdA protein is predicted to be membrane-bound and to harbor GGDEF and EAL domains, which, however, are highly divergent from the consensus motifs.

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
