The probable transcription antiterminator QuuD(YbaQ) binds to the essD promoter region and increases transcription of the lysis cassette genes essD(ybcQ), rrrD(ybcS), rzpD(ybcT) and rzoD; quuD(ybaQ) mutants have reduced biofilm formation via down-regulation of curlin(CsgA); overexpression of QuuD(YbaQ) increases cell lysis and biofilm formation (Rueggeberg, 2013). Overexpression of EssD-GFP causes cell death (Srividhya, 2012).
