TY - JOUR T1 - lac Up-promoter mutants with increased homology to the consensus promoter sequence. A1 - Mandecki, W LA - en YR - 1985 UL - http://buscaintegrada.pucsp.br/vufind/Record/pubmed-219337 AB - Four lac promoter mutants were constructed. The mutations increased the homology between the lac promoter and the consensus promoter sequences by introducing the consensus -10 and -35 regions and the consensus spacing of 17 residues between these two regions. The promoter mutants were cloned into a pBR322-derivatized vector upstream from the lacZ gene, and levels of beta-galactosidase were an indication of promoter activity. All mutants exhibited higher activity than did the wild-type promoter. KW - Research Article ER -
