High impact information on otsB

  • Primer extension analysis showed only one transcription start point upstream from otsB and one upstream from otsA, regardless of the growth conditions tested [1].
  • The araH gene is located directly upstream from otsBA, and otsB may be identical to pexA [1].
  • In contrast, transformation with otsB, which encodes trehalose phosphate phosphatase or Trec, encoding trehalose phosphate hydrolase, produced the opposite effect [2].
