Abstract

A challenge phage system was used to study the DNA-protein interaction between C4-dicarboylic acid transport protein D (DCTD) or σ54, and a σ54-dependent promoter, dctAp. R. meliloti dctA promoter regulatory region replaced the Omnt site on the phage. S. typhimurium strains overproducing either DCTD or σ54 directed this challenge phage towards lysogeny, indicating that DCTD or Eσ54 recognized the dctA promoter on the phage and repressed transcription of the ant gene. These challenge phage constructs will be useful for examining interactions between DCTD (or σ54) and the dctA promoter region.
