✦ Synopsis

Operons subject to catabolite repression (CR) in the gram-positive bacteria appear to be transcriptionally regulated by negative acting catabolite repressors. Cis elements within the promoter regions of a few CR operons have been identified as the target sequences for these repressors. It has also been proposed that sequences internal to the transcriptional unit may represent targets for recognition of the operons as catabolite repressible. The precise mechanism(s) of regulation have yet to be worked out.

γ-Glutamyl transpeptidase is normally not present in adult rat hepatocytes, but its expression is induced by a range of xenobiotics, including carcinogens and chemopreventive agents. Synthesis of the enzyme is mediated by at least six mRNAs transcribed from tandemly arranged promoters on a single ge
