Abstract excerpt

Transcription of the Tn21 mercury resistance (mer) operon is regulated by MerR which represses and activates the mer structural genes (merTPCAD) in the absence and presence of Hg(II), respectively. The promoter for the structural genes (PTPCAD) is divergently overlapped with the promoter for the regulatory gene (PR), and a dyadic operator lies between the -10 and -35 hexamers of PTPCAD. Using in vivo dimethyl...
