TLDR
It is concluded that the promoter itself is the target site for both catabolite and transient repression of the lac operon.Abstract:
The maximum rate of expression of the lac operon is severely reduced in lac promoter mutants. Revertants of these mutations which produce higher levels of enzyme were isolated. Some of these revertants had lost sensitivity to catabolite repression and transient repression. The mutations responsible for these losses took place at sites very close to the original promoter mutations. From these results we conclude that the promoter itself is the target site for both catabolite and transient repression of the lac operon.read more

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that even when pre-formed in the presence of CAP-cAMP, the polymerase-promoter open complex becomes unstable if CAP is then selectively removed, and this gel method is applied to the study of the E. coli lactose operon regulatory system.

Cloning and expression of the gene for bacteriophage T7 RNA polymerase
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a method to clone a functional gene for bacteriophage T7 RNA polymerase, which is useful for synthesizing large amounts of RNA in vivo or in vitro, and can produce a single RNA selectively from a complex mixture of DNAs.

TL;DR: A derivative strain of E. coli BL21(DE3) is engineered, termed Lemo21(de3), in which the activity of the T7 RNA polymerase can be precisely controlled by its natural inhibitor T7 lysozyme (T7Lys), which allows optimizing overexpression of any given membrane protein by using only a single strain rather than a multitude of different strains.

TL;DR: A quantitative physiological approach is used to show that cAMP signalling tightly coordinates the expression of catabolic proteins with biosynthetic and ribosomal proteins, in accordance with the cellular metabolic needs during exponential growth, to ensure that proteomic resources are spent on distinct metabolic sectors as needed in different nutrient environments.
