A research team led by UAB researcher David Reverter has discovered the molecular mechanism that describes in detail the process regulating cell division in bacteria, based on the binding of the MraZ ...

Required for the transport and metabolism of lactose in Escherichia Coli (E. coli).The lactose operon or lac operon consists of three structural genes namely lacZ, lacY, and lacA that encode proteins ...

The genes and important sequences for the regulation of the lac operon are organized such that several mediators can fine tune expression of the three genes in the operon itself— lacZ, lacY, and lacA.

New research suggests a possible explanation for the organization of operons, jointly controlled clusters of genes that evolved in bacterial chromosomes. Operons, which are found in the chromosomes of ...

The 92-year-old bacterial geneticist who helped pioneer the study of gene regulation has passed away. A series of rodent experiments showed that even with abundant food and water, personal space is ...
