The repressor PrtR1 and the global H-NS-like regulators MvaT and MvaV enable the fine-tuning of R-tailocin expression in Pseudomonas protegens by Clara Margot Heiman, Hammam Antar, Florian Fournes, Christoph Keel, Jordan Vacheron

“…By combining reverse genetics, transcriptional reporters and chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq), we show that the R-tailocin locus-specific LexA-like regulator PrtR1 represses R-tailocin gene expression by binding directly to the promoter region of the cluster, while the histone-like nucleoid structuring (H-NS) proteins MvaT and MvaV act as master regulators that indirectly regulate R-tailocin cluster expression. …”
