Abstract excerpt
Lrp is a global regulator of metabolism in Escherichia coli that helps cells respond to changes in environmental conditions. The action of Lrp as a transcriptional activator or repressor is sometimes affected when the medium contains exogenous leucine. In this study, we examined the thermodynamics of leucine binding to Lrp and to a leucine response mutant, Lrp-1, and leucine-induced dissociation of Lrp...
