Abstract
The E. coli nrd operon contains the genes encoding the two subunits of ribonucleoside diphosphate reductase. We found that the IciA protein binds specifically to the AT-rich upstream region of nrd promoter. In vivo overexpression of IciA increases the expression of nrd gene by four- to five-fold, suggesting that IciA functions as a transcriptional activator for the nrd gene.Entities:
