(17) hCT and hINS were added only during this final incubation due to the rapid response to peptide hormones.
(18) The critical sequence-specific contacts between a Hin monomer and a 13 bp hix half-site are at two T:A base pairs in the major groove of the DNA which are separated by one base pair, and two consecutive A:T contacts in the minor groove.
(19) Hin-mediated repression results from Hin associating into multimers either prior to binding or during the binding process at the hix operator sites (cooperativity).
(20) Efficient Hin-mediated inversion requires the 20,000 MW Hin protein and a proteinase K-sensitive host component.
