Synthesis of RpoS is dependent on a putative enhancer binding protein Rrp2 in Borrelia burgdorferi.
The RpoN-RpoS regulatory pathway plays a central role in governing adaptive changes by B. burgdorferi when the pathogen shuttles between its tick vector and mammalian hosts. In general, transcriptional activation of bacterial RpoN (σ54)-dependent genes requires an enhancer binding protein. B. burgdo...
