Abstract
In Escherichia coli, repression of the aceBAK operon is mediated by th e IcIR protein. We used an in vitro of oligonucleotide selection techn ique to determine the consensus recognition sequence for IcIR, Mutatio nal analysis confirmed the contribution of this sequence to repression in vivo and identified the -35 element of the promoter.
