  regulation

  • expression during spore [SW|germination] is strongly reduced under conditions of osmotic stress [Pubmed|27766092]

  additional information

  • expression of the ''[protein|search|rocA]-[protein|search|rocB]-[protein|search|rocC]'' operon is increased upon depletion of ''[SW|nusA]'' (resulting from increased ''[SW|ahrC]'' expression) [http://www.nature.com/articles/nmicrobiol20157 Reference]
