Repression of Diaminopimelic Acid Decarboxylase in Escherichia coli: Gene Dosage Effects and Escape Synthesis

Raymond J Kelleher Jr *, Michael Heggeness 1
PMCID: PMC233376  PMID: 1107314

Abstract

Gene dosage and escape synthesis experiments support the hypothesis that diaminopimelate decarboxylase repression by lysine involves a repressor molecule in a negative control system.
