The effect of mutations in dnaK and dnaJ genes on the expression of two operons that are part of cysteine regulon was determined using Escherichia coli strains harboring cysPTWA::lacZ andcysJIH::lacZ fusions. Null dnaJ, and dnaKdnaJ mutants were impaired in β-galactosidase expression from both fusions. Efficient complementation of this defect by wild-type alleles present on a low-copy number plasmid was achieved. The presence of the pMH224 plasmid coding for CysB* protein defective in DNA binding lowered β-galactosidase expression from cysPTWA::lacZ fusion strain harboring wild-type dnaKdnaJ alleles but did not diminish enzyme expression in ΔdnaJ and ΔdnaKdnaJ strains.
