Targeted mutations induced by a single acetylaminofluorene DNA adduct in mammalian cells and bacteria.

abstract：:A cyclic AMP-binding protein (CAP protein), cyclic AMP, and RNA polymerase holoenzyme are shown to initiate lac transcription at the lac promoter. Lac repressor appears to control transcription by preventing RNA polymerase and/or CAP protein from binding to the lac promoter. Results support the idea that the lac promo...
