title: [Functioning of the lactose operon of E. coli K-12 under the influence of non-specific regulators].
abstract: A possible role played by cAMP in the stimulating action of ACTH and hydrocortisone on lactose E. coli K-12 operon was studied. It was shown that ACTH caused no effect in the E. coli WZ-78/F'lac (cya855) and E. coli CA8001 (L1) strains with destroyed positive cAMP control system of the lactose operon function, at the same time producing a stimulating effect on the lactose operon in the strains of wild type, i.e. E coli 200PS/F'lac and E. coli 3000. Hydrocortisone stimulated the lactose operon function both in E. coli 3000 and in the mutant E. coli CA8001 (L1). It was supposed that the accelerating effect of ACTH on the lactose operon was mediated through cAMP; as to hydrocortisone--it stimulated the lactose operon function independently of cAMP.
