Abstract excerpt
The leucine-responsive regulatory protein Lrp regulates the expression of a number of operons in Escherichia coli, including the ilvIH operon. Earlier in vitro experiments showed purified Lrp binding to two regions of DNA proximal to the ilvIH promoter, an upstream region (-260 to -190) and a downstream region (-150 to -40). The effect of mutations in these regions on ilvIH promoter expression in vivo led to the...
