Abstract excerpt
By binding to the DNA site OE at position -60.5 in the gal operon, the GalR protein activates transcription from the P2 promoter located on the opposite face of DNA (position -5) and represses transcription from the P1 promoter located on the same face (position +1). GalR increases RNA polymerase binding at P2 and inhibits isomerization at P1 by forming a GalR-DNA-RNA polymerase ternary complex in each case. The...
