Experimental Process

Beta-gal evidence of DNA-damaged induction of LexA. EMSA on multiple-sized fragments to validate binding. DNAse foot printing and site-directed mutagenesis to confirm site.

Gene Regulation

Regulated genes for each binding site are displayed below. Gene regulation diagrams show binding sites, positively-regulated genes, negatively-regulated genes, both positively and negatively regulated genes, genes with unspecified type of regulation. For each indvidual site, experimental techniques used to determine the site are also given.
