Abstract excerpt
Site-directed mutagenesis of the trpR gene (encoding the trp repressor, TrpR) was used to replace Gly85 with tryptophan (Trp or W), in order to place Trp near its normal location in the L-tryptophan(L-W)-binding pocket. The resulting mutant protein (G85W) exhibits weak, but significant repressor activity in vivo that is independent of the presence of L-W in the media. This mutant negatively complements the...
