Summary Introduction
To review:
The interpretation of LuxR being allosterically regulated by the signaling inducer molecule secreted by V. fischeri.
Introduction:
The LuxR gene is regulated by the inducer molecule allosterically. The light-producing genes are organized and operate under positive control. In molecular biology, positive regulation implies that a transcription factor is required to bind at the promoter site in gene to enhance RNA polymerase to initiate transcription. The activator that functions in this operon is LuxR. This activator is responsible for the emission of the light.
