Modulation of the two promoters of the galactose operon of Escherichia coli
Abstract
The gal operon of Escherichia coli is controlled by two independent promoters-one is activated and the other inhibited by cyclic AMP and cyclic AMP receptor protein. The two promoters are modulated, however, by the same operator locus and repressor protein.
