Enhanced expression of recX in Mycobacterium tuberculosis owing to a promoter internal to recA

RecX is a small protein that interacts with, and modulates the activity of, RecA protein. In mycobacteria the recX gene is located immediately downstream of the recA gene, and the coding regions overlap. It has previously been shown that these two genes are co-transcribed in Mycobacterium smegmatis....
