IHF stimulation of lambda cII gene expression is inhibited by the E. coli NusA protein.
The effects of E. coli proteins Integrative Host Factor (IHF) and NusA on the regulation of lambda cII gene expression are presented. As reported previously (Peacock et al. [1984] Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 81, 6009-6013), IHF stimulates the DNA-directed in vitro synthesis of cII protein or its first dipeptide, fMet-Val. Whereas NusA, by itself, has no effect on cII expression, the presence of NusA inhibits the IHF-mediated stimulation of cII synthesis.
