Abstract excerpt
Transcription of the manganese-superoxide dismutase gene (sodA) in Escherichia coli was shown to be activated by manganese. Addition of MnCl2 increased the expression of beta-galactosidase from a sodA::lacZ protein fusion and increased the concentration of mRNA transcribed from sodA+ and sodA::lacZ constructs. The stimulatory affect of manganese on the expression of sodA::lacZ was greatly reduced (i.e., > 90%) in...
