Genetic evidence for a repressor of synthesis of cytosine deaminase and purine biosynthesis enzymes in Escherichia coli.

abstract：:Respiratory nitrate reductase purified from the cell membrane of Escherichia coli is composed of three subunits, alpha, beta, and gamma, which are encoded, respectively, by the narG, narH, and narI genes of the narGHJI operon. The product of the narJ gene was deduced previously to be a highly charged, acidic protein w...
