Regulated Operon: sacXY

Genes
Genes Synonyms Direction Genome position Function COG ID Genus clusters
sacX ipa-14r, sacS + 3941255..3942634 negative regulatory protein of SacY COG1263  
sacY ipa-13r, sacS + 3942688..3943530 transcriptional antiterminator COG3711  

Operon evidence: lacZ gene fusion
Reference: Zukowski MM, et al. (1990), Glaser P, et al. (1990), Crutz AM & Steinmetz M (1992)
Comments: Binding of SacT (at low sucrose concentration) and by both SacT and SacY (at higher concentrations) to the ribonucleic antiterminator (RAT) sequence prevents formation of the terminator in the sacXY promoter, allowing transcription of the downstream sequence.
