Description
AlkS transcriptional regulator activates the expression of its own gene, and that of alkT, from a promoter named PalkS2 in the presence of alkanes. . AlkS levels that are high enough to activate the expression of the alkBFGHJKL operon from the PalkB promoter. AlkS recognizes C5???C10 n-alkanes as effectors, but does not respond to shorter or larger alkanes.
