Disease relevance of yagU

This pathogenicity island, designated PAI III(536), is located at 5.6 min of the E. coli chromosome and covers a region of at least 37 kb between the tRNA locus thrW and yagU [1].

High impact information on yagU

PAI II(4787) is found between the proA and yagU at 6 min of the E. coli chromosome [2].
CONCLUSION: pH regulates a core set of genes independently of oxygen, including yagU, fimbriae, periplasmic chaperones, and nhaB [3].
