H-NS Antagonism in Shigella flexneri by VirB, a Virulence Gene Transcription Regulator That Is Closely Related to Plasmid Partition Factors

The VirB protein of Shigella flexneri is a positive regulator of the major virulence operons of this enteroinvasive intracellular pathogen. VirB resembles no other transcription factor but is strongly homologous to plasmid partition proteins. We found that the binding of the VirB protein to the prom...
