摘要：

Genes of Yersiniae spp. involved in production of the siderophore yersiniabactin are located on the high-pathogenicity island (HPI). Their transcription is controlled by the AraC/XiIS-like transcriptional regulator YbtA encoded within the HP1. YbtA-regulated divergent and overlapping ybtA and irp6 promoters contain three YbtA binding sites, RS1, RS2 and RS3. Deleting RSs systematically and using ybtA and irp6 transcriptional fusions, we determined that different modes of YbtA binding are responsible for activation of irp6 and repression of ybtA. Based on these data, we propose a model of irp6 and ybtA promoter regulation. (c) 2005 Federation of European Microbiological Societies. Published by Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
