Abstract
Rrp2 is the sole sigma(54)-dependent transcriptional activator present in the Borrelia burgdorferi genome. We showed that recombinant Rrp2 binds to DNA in a sequence-nonspecific manner. During infection, Rrp2 activates sigma(54)-dependent rpoS expression without an apparent upstream enhancer element commonly associated with other sigma(54)-dependent transcriptional activators.Entities:
