Cooperative MetR binding in the Escherichia coli glyA control region.

FEMS microbiology letters - 1 Apr 1996

Abstract excerpt

We determined the relative binding affinity of the MetR protein for wild-type and mutant MetR binding sites 1 and 2 in the Escherichia coli glyA control region. The results show that MetR binding site 1 has a higher affinity for the MetR protein than binding site 2. In addition, the results sugge...
