Organism
Escherichia coli str. K-12 substr. MG1655 (strain: K-12, substrain: MG1655)
Lineage
Bacteria; Pseudomonadati; Pseudomonadota; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Enterobacteriaceae; Escherichia
Also known as
bglC; ECK3716
Summary
The non-phosphorylated BglG dimer binds to RNA and allows readthrough of transcription. [More information is available at EcoGene: EG10116]. The bgl operon, encoding genes for the uptake and utilization of -glucosides, is silent in wild type Escherichia coli K-12 due to the interaction of sequences upstream and downstream of the promoter . [More information is available at EcoCyc: EG10116].
