Abstract excerpt
The Escherichia coli Lac and Gal repressors are two members of a large family of bacterial repressor proteins that share significant sequence and structural homology. Efficient repression by all family members requires specific binding to a site or sites close to the transcriptional start of the genes regulated. Both LacR and GalR have to bind to at least two sites for efficient repression, yet they differ in one...
