β¦ Synopsis
Nalidixic acid inhibits the expression of those cysteine genes which are regulated by the cysB product, it has no affect, however, on the constitutively expressed eysE gene. The expression of cysteine genes in a strain carrying a mutation in the nalA locus is resistant to this drug. Novobiocin affects the expression of cysteine genes similarly to nalidixic acid. The effect of nalidixic acid on the expression of genes in a cysteine constitutive mutant was studied.

We have examined the level of expression of the SOS regulon in cells lacking DNA adenine methylase activity (darn-). Mud (Ap, lac) fusions to several SOS operons (recA, lexA, uvrA, uvrB, uvrD, sulA, dinD and dinF) were found to express higher levels of fl-galactosidase in darn-strains than in isogen
## Abstract Summary: We examined the effect of histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDIs), trichostatin A (TSA), valproic acid (VPA), and sodium butyrate (NaB) on heat shock protein (hsp) gene expression during early __Xenopus laevis__ development. HDIs enhance histone acetylation and result in the reli
