Heterogeneity in expression of the colicin K activity gene CKA is controlled by the SOS system, LexA binding affinity, and stochastic factors

Phenotypic heterogeneity is present in all organisms and enables populaitons to adapt to environmental perturbations. Colicins are bacteriocins encoded on plasmids of E. coli. Results of studies of expression of the colicin K acitivity gene revealed that expression depends upon: 1) induction of the SOS system, 2) affinity of LexA binding to operator sequencs and 3) stochastic factors.
