Abstract excerpt
malEp and malKp are divergent and partially overlapping promoters of the Escherichia coli maltose regulon, whose activity depends on the presence of two transcriptional activators. MalT and CRP (cAMP receptor protein). Their activation involves a common 210 base-pair regulatory region encompassing multiple binding sites for both activators. Using a supercoiled plasmid containing malEp and malKp as template,...
