Abstract excerpt
Salmonella typhimurium purR encodes a transcriptional repressor regulating gene expression of de novo purine nucleotide biosynthesis. It represses purD gene transcription by binding to the 16-base pair purD operator (PUR box). A S. typhimurium strain carrying a super-repressing mutant of purR, purR(s), has been used as an experimental system to study adaptive mutation. Escherichia coli lac genes were genetically...
