A fundamental regulatory mechanism operating through OmpR and DNA topology controls expression of Salmonella pathogenicity islands SPI-1 and SPI-2.

DNA topology has fundamental control over the ability of transcription factors to access their target DNA sites at gene promoters. However, the influence of DNA topology on protein-DNA and protein-protein interactions is poorly understood. For example, relaxation of DNA supercoiling strongly induces...
