Genetic analysis of the active sites of lac repressor.

چکیده
Selection methods for the isolation of i(-d) and i(s) mutants are described. Two hundred and forty-seven i(-d) and 98 i(s) mutations have been localized by deletion mapping. All i(-d) mutations map in the region of the i gene, which codes for the aminoterminal part of the lac repressor, whereas i(s) mutations map in the middle of the i gene and at the proximal end of the i(-d) cluster.

Construction of New Genetic Tools as Alternatives for Protein Overexpression in Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Background: Pseudomonas protein expression in E. coli is known to be a setback due to signifi cant genetic variation and absence of several genetic elements in E. coli for regulation and activation of Pseudomonas proteins. Modifi cations in promoter/repressor system and shuttle plasmid maintenance have made the expression of stable and active Pseudomonas protein possible in bot...
متن کاملCrystal structure of the lactose operon repressor and its complexes with DNA and inducer.
The lac operon of Escherichia coli is the paradigm for gene regulation. Its key component is the lac repressor, a product of the lacI gene. The three-dimensional structures of the intact lac repressor, the lac repressor bound to the gratuitous inducer isopropyl-beta-D-1-thiogalactoside (IPTG) and the lac repressor complexed with a 21-base pair symmetric operator DNA have been determined. These ...
متن کاملMechanism of promoter repression by Lac repressor–DNA loops
The Escherichia coli lactose (lac) operon encodes the first genetic switch to be discovered, and lac remains a paradigm for studying negative and positive control of gene expression. Negative control is believed to involve competition of RNA polymerase and Lac repressor for overlapping binding sites. Contributions to the local Lac repressor concentration come from free repressor and repressor d...
متن کاملThe location of the repressor binding sites in the lac operon.
The affinity of various mutant lac DNAs for the lac repressor was examined by means of a competition binding assay. The results indicate that there exist at least two binding sites for the lac repressor. The primary binding site is coincidental with the operator, as defined by genetic studies. Mutations of the promoter or the Z gene have little or no effect on the repressor binding properties o...
متن کاملA synthetic phage regulatory circuit
Analysis of synthetic gene regulatory circuits can provide insight into circuit behavior and evolution. An alternative approach is to modify a naturally occurring circuit, by using genetic methods to select functional circuits and evolve their properties. We have applied this approach to the circuitry of phage . This phage grows lytically, forms stable lysogens, and can switch from this regulat...
