Abstract

In Escherichia coli, the workhorse of molecular biology, a single operon is involved in the replication, transcription and translation of genetic information. This operon is controlled in a complex manner involving multiple cis-acting regulatory sequences and trans-acting regulatory proteins. It interacts with global regulatory networks by mechanisms which are presently being dissected.
