Tol: Difference between revisions

It has been shown that the regulation of Tol genes is linked to the cell envelope stability. <ref>PMCID: PMC1847374 </ref>  In studies with E. coli, the ''tol-pal'' genes have been induced by RcsC in response to cell envelope stress. <ref>http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8821933 </ref>  RcsC is a transmembrane sensor kinase, and along with the cytoplasmic response regulator RcsB, makes up the RcsBC regulatory system. <ref>http://jb.asm.org/cgi/content/abstract/187/19/6770 </ref>  RcsBC is involved in the regulation of ''cps'' genes which code for the biosynthsis machinery of a major componant for the capsula, cholanic acid.
