Disease relevance of fimZ
- Construction and characterization of a fimZ mutant of Salmonella typhimurium [1].
High impact information on fimZ
- One of these genes, fimZ, appears to be involved in increasing the expression of fimA [1].
- An examination of the predicted amino acid sequence, deduced from the nucleotide sequence of fimZ, indicated that the FimZ polypeptide possessed a DNA binding motif [1].
- The fimZ mutant demonstrated decreased levels of fimA expression compared with the parental strain when both were grown under conditions favoring fimbrial expression [1].
Biological context of fimZ
- Bacterial lysates, derived from strains transformed with recombinant plasmids possessing a fimZ gene, demonstrated DNA binding activity with a fragment containing the fimA promoter [1].
