Regulation of ribosomal RNA promoters with a synthetic lac operator.

Open access
Brosius, J, Holy, A·1984·Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

Abstract

A synthetic 21-base-pair long DNA fragment containing the central lac operator sequence has been inserted near the initiation point of the cloned Escherichia coli rrnB rRNA promoter P2 in the natural and reverse orientation. RNA synthesis is efficiently repressed in both orientations in lac Iq strains and is induced with isopropyl beta-D-thiogalactoside. When the rrnB promoter P1 is also present, upstream from P2 and the synthetic lac operator, repression of transcription is incomplete. The levels of transcription were measured in vivo, indirectly by the expression of a protein (chloramphenicol acetyltransferase), or directly by the expression of a stable RNA (E. coli 4.5S RNA) in a simple assay involving gel electrophoresis of unlabeled total RNA from E. coli. The rrnB promoter constructions can produce high levels of protein expression as well as high levels of expression of stable RNA.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
