The Temperature-Dependent Expression of the High-Pathogenicity Island Encoding Piscibactin in Vibrionaceae Results From the Combined Effect of the AraC-Like Transcriptional Activator PbtA and Regulatory Factors From the Recipient Genome

The Temperature-Dependent Expression of the High-Pathogenicity Island Encoding Piscibactin in Vibrionaceae Results From the Combined Effect of the AraC-Like Transcriptional Activator PbtA and Regulatory Factors From the Recipient Genome

The high-pathogenicity island irp-HPI is widespread among Vibrionaceae encoding the piscibactin siderophore system. The expression of piscibactin genes in the fish pathogen Vibrio anguillarum is favored by low temperatures. However, information about the regulatory mechanism behind irp-HPI gene expr...
