title: In vitro identification of Rns-regulated genes.
abstract: To identify Rns-regulated genes, a maltose binding protein (MBP)-Rns fusion protein was used to isolate DNA fragments from enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli genomic DNA that carry Rns binding sites. In vivo transcription fusion analysis shows that Rns positively regulates the expression of the open reading frame of yiiS, which lies immediately downstream of one MBP-Rns-bound fragment.
