Abstract excerpt
Transcription of the metE gene in Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli is positively regulated by the MetR protein, with homocysteine serving as a coactivator. It was shown previously that MetR binds to and protects from DNase I digestion a 24-bp sequence in the metE metR regulatory region...
