Upstream CtrA-binding sites both induce and repress pilin gene expression in Caulobacter crescentus

Abstract Pili are bacterial surface structures important for surface adhesion. In the alphaproteobacterium Caulobacter crescentus, the global regulator CtrA activates transcription of roughly 100 genes, including pilA which codes for the pilin monomer that makes up the pilus filament. While most Ctr...
