Popis: Expression of mucD , encoding a homologue of the HtrA(DegP) family of endoserine proteases, was investigated in Pseudomonas aeruginosa . Expressed from the algT-mucABCD operon, MucD was detected in mucoid (FRD1) and nonmucoid (PAO1) parental strains and also when polar insertions were placed upstream in algT or mucB . A transcriptional start site for a mucD promoter (P mucD ) was mapped within mucC . Expression of single-copy mucD217 , encoding MucD altered in the protease motif (S217A), was defective in temperature resistance and alginate gene regulation.
