Expression and Regulation

Operon

• ''[protein|search|cysH]-[protein|search|cysP]-[protein|search|sat]-[protein|search|cysC]-[protein|search|ylnD]-[protein|search|ylnE]-[protein|search|ylnF]'' [Pubmed|11004190]

[SW|Sigma factor]

• [protein|search|SigA] [Pubmed|11004190]

Regulation

• repressed by casamino acids [Pubmed|12107147]
• repressed in the presence of cysteine ([protein|search|CymR])
• induced by methionine starvation ([protein|search|S-box]) [Pubmed|10094622]

Regulatory mechanism

• [protein|search|S-box]: transcription termination/ antitermination, the [protein|search|S-box] [SW|riboswitch] binds S-adenosylmethionine resulting in termination [Pubmed|10094622]
• [protein|search|CymR]: transcription repression
