The sulA gene of Escherichia coli, which encodes an inducible inhibitor of cell division, plays a role in the SOS response. Its expression, like that of other SOS genes, is repressed by the LexA protein. This paper reports the identification and characterisation of the promoter for the cloned sulA g
The products of the lexA and recA genes play central roles in the regulation of the Escherichia coli SOS response. We have measured the rate of mRNA synthesis from each gene at intervals following various inducing treatments in order to obtain a more precise timing of the induction process. Further,
