The apeE gene of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium is induced by phosphate limitation and regulated by phoBR

J Bacteriol. 2001 Mar;183(5):1784-6. doi: 10.1128/JB.183.5.1784-1786.2001.

Abstract

Mutations in apeR, a regulatory locus of the outer membrane esterase apeE from Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium, were shown to be alleles of the pstSCAB-phoU high-affinity phosphate transport operon. Expression of apeE was induced by phosphate limitation, and this induction required the phoBR phosphate regulatory system.
