Regulation of ribosomal protein synthesis in Vibrio cholerae

J Bacteriol. 2004 Sep;186(17):5933-7. doi: 10.1128/JB.186.17.5933-5937.2004.

Abstract

We have investigated the regulation of the S10 and spc ribosomal protein (r-protein) operons in Vibrio cholerae. Both operons are under autogenous control; they are mediated by r-proteins L4 and S8, respectively. Our results suggest that Escherichia coli-like strategies for regulating r-protein synthesis extend beyond the enteric members of the gamma subdivision of proteobacteria.
