Regulation of Gene Expression in Escherichia coli

Coverage is not intended to be comprehensive; instead, selected well-defined systems serve as paradigms, along with some complex systems that are in the early phases of being investigated. Contributing authors were encouraged to incorporate their special perspectives rather than simply emphasize the latest findings; in addition, they were urged to highlight some of the experimental strategies employed in their fields, as well as their individual research styles. Twenty- five contributions discuss such topics as: transcription termination and its control; control by antisense RNA; history of the pho system; the FNR modulon and FNR-regulated gene expression; and heat shock regulation.
