Abstract excerpt
Regulation of expression of bioluminescence from the Vibrio fischeri lux regulon in Escherichia coli is a consequence of a unique form of positive feedback superimposed on a poorly defined cis-acting repression mechanism. The lux regulon consists of two divergently transcribed operons. The leftward operon contains only a single gene, luxR, which encodes a transcriptional activator protein. The rightward operon...
