  • [protein|search|SigA] [Pubmed|15661000]
  • Regulation

  • repressed by [protein|search|SinR] [Pubmed|15661000]
  • Regulatory mechanism

  • [protein|search|SinR]: transcription anti-activation (prevents binding of [protein|search|RemA]) [Pubmed|23646920]
  • [protein|search|RemA]: transcription activation [Pubmed|23646920]
  • [protein|search|AbrB]: transcription repression [Pubmed|20817675]
  • Additional information

  • induction by sequestration of [protein|search|SinR] by [protein|search|SinI] or [protein|search|SlrA] [PubMed|15661000,19788541]
  • the '[protein|search|epsA]-[protein|search|epsB]-[protein|search|epsC]-[protein|search|epsD]-[protein|search|epsE]-[protein|search|epsF]-[protein|search|epsG]-[protein|search|epsH]-[protein|search|epsI]-[protein|search|epsJ]-[protein|search|epsK]-[protein|search|epsL]-[protein|search|epsM]-[protein|search|epsN]-[protein|search|epsO]' operon is not expressed in a '[protein|search|ymdB]' mutant [PubMed|21856853]
  • the amount of the mRNA is substantially decreased upon depletion of [Rny|search|RNase Y] (this is likely due to the increased stability of the '[protein|search|sinR]' mRNA) [PubMed|21815947]
  • the [[EAR riboswitch]] (eps-associated [[RNA switch]]) located between' [protein|search|epsB]' and '[protein|search|epsC]' mediates processive antitermination and allows expression of the long eps operon [PubMed|20374491]
