  24. A proteome-wide screen to identify transcription factors interacting with the Vibrio cholerae rpoS promoter

    • Journal of Microbiological Methods

    • Author(s): Julio C. Ayala, Jorge A. Benitez, Anisia J. Silva

      Abstract

      We describe a proteomic approach to identify transcription factors binding to a target promoter. The method's usefulness was tested by identifying proteins binding to the Vibrio cholerae rpoS promoter in response to cell density. Proteins identified in this screen included the nucleoid-associated protein Fis and the quorum sensing regulator HapR.
