            [1] first reports a 27 bp operator(sites 1240-1266) with two-fold
            symmetries; the operator has also been defined to be bases
            1246-1266 or bases 1239-1273 [8]. [(in) Kjeldgaard,N.C. and Maaloe,
            O.(eds);Control of ribosome synthesis: 138-143;A] explores the
            ability of lac
            repressor protein to affect methylation of operator DNA.  [8]
            argues that DNA on both sides of the 21 bp operator (bases
            1246-1266) affects repressor binding but that the sequences of this
            DNA are probably not critical. [5] gives a larger sequence known as
            the promoter-operator region for the wild-type, whereas [2] and
            [26] give portions of this region for the mutant strain UV5. Within
            the promoter region, bases 1162-1199 are identified as the
            catabolite gene activator protein binding site (cap) and bases
            1200-1245 are the RNA polymerase interaction site. [10] reports a
            sequence for the 5'end of the lacI (repressor) gene and discusses
            restart in mutant strains. [11] presents a sequence for the lacI
            promoter region and identifies an I-Q mutation which enhances lacI
            transcription approximately ten-fold. [12] gives a complete
            sequence
            for lacI which agrees with the known lac repressor sequence. [26]
            examines the promoter-operator region in the UV5 strain (lac109)
            and studies 23 mutant derivatives of this sequence. This sequence
            agrees with known protein sequences for the lacZ, lacY and lacA
            enzymes. [15] notes that the fMet codon is not present
            for lacA and suggests that the 'ttg' codon (5727-5729), which
            immediately precedes the mature N-terminal asparagine codon, is the
            start codon. The cds for lacZ, lacY and lacA are included on a
            single mRNA transcript.
