    Also known as

    Summary
    Blue light activation of the YgcE anti-repressor relieves YcgF repression of the cold-shock RpoS-activated small protein operon ycgZ-ymgA-ariR-ymgC operon; connector proteins AirR(YmgB) (at 28C) and YmgA (at 16C) stimulate colanic acid synthesis and inhibit curli production by an RcsA-independent activation of RcsB; RcsB activation is antagonized by connector protein YcgZ (Tschowr, 2009). ycgZ is induced three hours after cold shock in a pnp-dependent manner.
