Abstract
Although much of the discussion to this point has dealt with regulation, the regulation has been of a relatively simple type. There has been a single operon, one or two promoters, and a single repressor or activator complex. In many instances, cells need to be able to coordinate and/or to sequence the activities of a wide variety of diverse functions to achieve an appropriate response to an environmental stimulus. This chapter deals with some methods used by eubacteria and by Saccharomyces to accomplish these goals.
