Effector Molecules and Regulatory Proteins: Applications.
Bacteria respond to their external environment by modulating gene expression in the presence of certain effector molecules. The adaptive responses are mediated by transcriptional regulators that, after binding to the DNA, recognize these effector molecules and modify transcription. Some applications of regulatory proteins are reviewed here.
