Disease relevance of iclR

 

High impact information on iclR

  • These three genes are clustered, in that order, in the same acetate (ace) operon whose expression is under the transcriptional control of the iclR gene located downstream from aceK [2].
  • The purified protein was found to have a smaller mass than that predicted from the base sequence of the cloned iclR gene [3].
  • On the basis of restriction mapping followed by Southern hybridization experiments, the sor genes were mapped at 91.2 min on the chromosome, 3.3 kbp downstream of the metH-iclR gene cluster, and shown to be transcribed in a counterclockwise direction [4].
  • The iclR gene was cloned and expressed in a coupled T7 RNA polymerase/promoter system and the gene product was identified by specific binding to a fragment containing the aceBAK operator region [1].
  • Regulation of the glyoxylate bypass operon: cloning and characterization of iclR [5].
