Activation of ara operons by a truncated AraC protein does not require inducer.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 1 May 1990

Menon K P, Lee N L

Abstract excerpt

The araC gene of Escherichia coli encodes a protein that binds the inducer L-arabinose to activate the transcription of three ara operons. In a study to determine the functional domains within the AraC protein, we have generated a set of overlapping deletions from the proximal end of the araC gen...
