Abstract excerpt
Mutants altered in their expression of the hybrid pepN-lacZ gene have been selected for resistance to p-nitrophenyl-beta-D-thiogalactopyranoside (a bacteriostatic compound that enters the cells via lac permease). A unique mutation decreasing the level of pepN expression to 9% of that of the wild type has been studied in detail. This mutation controls in cis the expression of the pepN gene. The pepN region from a...
