In the present study , the expression from lac fusion was retained after disruption in hilC in cells , suggesting the contribution of RtsA on the expression from the hilA promoter in these mutants .

that RtsA are each capable of independently inducing expression of the hilC genes
We demonstrate that RtsA are each capable of inducing expression of hilC .
We had previously demonstrated that RtsA increased expression of hilC .
We wanted to determine if RtsA could induce expression of hilC in the absence of the other regulators .
RtsA also induced expression of hilC .
RtsA induced expression of hilC approximately threeto fourfold .
These data show that RtsA are each capable of independently inducing expression of hilC , consistent with our model that RtsA constitute a feed forward regulatory loop .
We show that RtsA can each independently activate expression of the hilC genes .
RtsA are all also capable of activating expression of hilC independent of each other and comprise a complex feed forward regulatory loop .
