Interactions of Wild-type and Truncated LevR of Bacillus subtilis with the Upstream Activating Sequence of the Levanase Operon
TLDR
The results obtained suggest that LevR is a multidomain protein, the amino-terminal part of the protein is required for DNA binding whereas the central domain allows the activation of transcription.About:

How Phosphotransferase System-Related Protein Phosphorylation Regulates Carbohydrate Metabolism in Bacteria
TL;DR: The known protein phosphorylation-related regulatory functions of the PTS are summarized, which shows that the PTS regulation network not only controls carbohydrate uptake and metabolism but also interferes with the utilization of nitrogen and phosphorus and the virulence of certain pathogens.

Regulation of carbon catabolism in Bacillus species.
Jörg Stülke,Wolfgang Hillen +1 more
TL;DR: The gram-positive bacterium Bacillus subtilisis capable of using numerous carbohydrates as single sources of carbon and energy is discussed, with antitermination apparently more common in B. subtil is than in other bacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Compilation and analysis of sigma(54)-dependent promoter sequences.
TL;DR: The use of the extended consensus increases the probability of identifying genuine -24/-12 promoters and the effect of several reported mutations on RNA-polymerase binding and promoter strength is discussed in the light of the updated consensus.

PRD — a protein domain involved in PTS‐dependent induction and carbon catabolite repression of catabolic operons in bacteria
TL;DR: Several operon‐specific transcriptional regulators, including antiterminators and activators, contain a duplicated conserved domain, the PRD, which are functionally specialized in either induction or catabolite repression.
MicroReview Signal sensing by 54 -dependent regulators: derepression as a control mechanism
TL;DR: This MicroReview emphasizes recent data concerning the activities of a distinct subgroup of the σ54‐dependent regulators that directly sense and respond with transcriptional activation to the presence of small effector molecules in their environment.
