Internal Transcription Terminators Control Stoichiometry of ABC Transporters in Cellulolytic Clostridia

Abstract

Operons encoding protein complexes or metabolic pathways usually require fine-tuned gene expression ratios to create and maintain the appropriate stoichiometry for biological functions. In this study, a strategy for controlling differential expression of genes in an operon was proposed by utilizing ABC importers from Ruminiclostridium cellulolyticum .
