Tuning the sequence specificity of a transcription terminator.

abstract：:The atpB and atpE genes encode beta and epsilon subunits, respectively, of chloroplast ATP synthase and are co-transcribed in the plant species so far studied. In tobacco, an atpB gene-specific probe hybridizes to 2.7- and 2.3-kb transcripts. In addition to these, a probe from the atpE coding region hybridizes also to...

abstract：:Most organisms prefer to utilize glucose as a carbon source. Accordingly, the expression of genes involved in the catabolism of other carbon sources is repressed by the presence of glucose in a process known as (carbon) catabolite repression. However, much less is known about the relationships between "poor" carbon so...
