Journal ArticleDOI
Catabolite-Insensitive Revertants of Lac Promoter Mutants
TL;DR: It is concluded that the promoter itself is the target site for both catabolite and transient repression of the lac operon.
Journal ArticleDOI
Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase is found in prothymocytes
TL;DR: It is found that an elimination after induction with the thymic polypeptide removes a substantial amount of terminal transferase from the bone marrow cell population, suggesting that at least one-half of the marrow cells bearing this enzyme are related to those found in theThymus.
Journal ArticleDOI
Catabolite sensitive site of the lac operon.
Allen E. Silverstone,Boris Magasanik,William S. Reznikoff,Jeffrey H. Miller,Jonathan Beckwith +4 more
TL;DR: A partial deletion in the lac p region makes the lac operon insensitive to catabolite repression.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cloning of terminal transferase cDNA by antibody screening.
Nathaniel R. Landau,T St John,Irving L. Weissman,S C Wolf,Allen E. Silverstone,David Baltimore +5 more
TL;DR: Only a small amount of genomic DNA hybridized to the longest available clone, indicating that the sequence is virtually unique in the mouse genome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inhibition of lacZ Gene Translation Initiation in trp-lac Fusion Strains
William S. Reznikoff,Corinne A. Michels,Terrance G. Cooper,Allen E. Silverstone,Boris Magasanik +4 more
TL;DR: The preferred explanation for these disproportional enzyme levels is that only a fraction of the full complement of ribosomes need initiate translation at lacZ for the functional synthesis of lac mRNA to occur and that once the lac ribonucleic acid is made a full complementof ribosome can bind at internal translation initiation sites at Y and A.
