Abstract excerpt
Transcription of the lac operon in Escherichia coli is repressed by the binding of Lac repressor (LacR) to lac operator O1, a pseudo-palindromic sequence centred 11 bp downstream of the transcription start. Full repression of the wild-type promoter by wild-type, tetrameric LacR requires the presence of at least two operator sequences that must not only be in close proximity to O1, 401 bp and 92 bp for the...
