Abstract
A lysC-lac'Z fusion plasmid was constructed to study the regulatory re gion of the lysC gene. Analysis by deletion mutations confirmed the ex istence of an alternative promoter, P2, located upstream of the previo usly identified promoter, P1. The transcription start site of promoter P2 was located 85 base pairs upstream the transcription start site of promoter P1. Both promoters are regulated by lysine.
