Abstract excerpt
The araC gene encodes a regulatory protein, AraC, that acts as both an activator and a repressor of transcription of the genes involved in the transport and catabolism of L-arabinose in Salmonella typhimurium LT2. Five araC mutants which have altered regulatory properties were characterized. All are point mutations which would result in amino acid substitutions near the C terminus of AraC. Each mutation results...
