  regulatory mechanism

  • [protein|C3D87DAA8DB124D50D2C2B2D424C9608C0DE067F|YwcC]: repression, [Pubmed|18647168,19788541], in [regulon|C3D87DAA8DB124D50D2C2B2D424C9608C0DE067F|YwcC regulon]

  additional information

  • increased expression in a [gene|64C6D783FF3F41C81B216F798A1DC8071345B1ED|pnpA] mutant [Pubmed|26857544]
  • half-life of the mRNA: 0.56 min, this increases to 1.06 in a [gene|64C6D783FF3F41C81B216F798A1DC8071345B1ED|pnpA] mutant [Pubmed|26857544]
