The bgl operon with relevant DNA-binding protein sites and structural features. The phoU/bglG intergenic region is where IS insertion occurs, upstream of the promoter. Several DNA binding proteins are known to bind to the bglGFB regulatory region and influence transcription. A major focus of this work is to determine whether protein binding in this region affects the rate of insertion of IS1 and/or IS5.
