Note
LEXPR: a transactivator that is a fusion of the DNA-binding domain of the bacterial LexA protein (residues 1-87), the truncated ligand-binding domain of the human progesterone receptor (residues 640-914) and the activation domain of the human p65 (residues 283-551). Upon activation by mifepristone (aka RU486) LEXPR binds to the operator-promoter and induces transcription.
