A. Congres multidisciplinaire « THE RECEPTORS »

The induction of the 4-aminobutyric-acid (GABA)-specific permease (UGA4 gene), the GABA transaminase (UGA1 gene), and the succinic-semialdehyde dehydrogenase (UGA2 gene) by GABA requires the integrity of a positive control element encoded by the UGA3 gene (Ramos et al., 1985). A second regulatory element, encoded by the UGA43 gene, has been recently identified. It behaves like a trans-acting negative control element of the UGA4 permease gene expression (Vissers et al., 1989).
