Abstract excerpt
Addition of purine compounds to the growth medium of Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium causes repressed synthesis of the purine biosynthetic enzymes. The repression is mediated through a regulatory protein, PurR. To identify the co-repressor(s) of PurR, two approaches were used: (i) mut...
