Abstract excerpt
A hybrid operator-promoter region was designed to aid in a screen for cooperativity mutants of the lambda repressor. In this system, lambda repressor mutants with defects in pairwise cooperative binding are unable to act as efficient transcriptional repressors. Four single amino acid substitutions in the C-terminal domain of the repressor were isolated. Studies of the DNA binding properties of the purified mutant...
