Abstract excerpt
Escherichia coli PepA is a hexameric aminopeptidase that is also endowed with a DNA-binding activity that functions in transcription control and plasmid dimer resolution. To gain further insight into the functioning of PepA, mutants were selected on the basis of reduced repressibility of a genomic carA-lacZ fusion and studied for the various cellular processes requiring PepA, i.e. repression of the carAB operon,...
