ES, Exponential growth phase; SP, Stationary growth phase. Recently, a virB https://www.selleckchem.com/products/baricitinib-ly3009104.html promoter sequence was identified and confirmed to promote expression of downstream genes via VjbR SN-38 chemical structure [27]. With such a large number of transcriptional regulators found to be altered downstream of VjbR and by the addition of C12-HSL (Table 2), it is plausible that many

of the gene alterations observed may be downstream events and not directly regulated by VjbR. To identify altered genes that are likely directly regulated by VjbR, microarray data from these studies were compared to the potential operons downstream of the predicted VjbR promoter sequences [27]. A total of 91 potential operons from the 144 previously predicted VjbR promoter sequences were found to be altered by a deletion of VjbR and/or treatment of wildtype cells with C12-HSL, comprised of 215 genes (Additional File 4, Table S4) [27]. A total of 11 promoters from the confirmed 15 found to be activated by VjbR in an E. coli model were identified in the microarray analyses conducted in this study, confirming the direct regulation of these particular operons (Additional Nutlin-3 mw File 4, Table S4) [27]. Table 2 Transcripts associated with gene regulation significantly altered between 16M and 16MΔvjbR, with and without the treatment of C12-HSL to cells.
