Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Study on the CRP and CRP*RNA polymerase complex

Abstract

Cyclic AMP receptor protein (CRP) from E. Coli plays a key role in regulation of the expression of more than 20 genes of the bacterium. CRP binds in the presence of cAMP to a specific target site near the promoter of each gene under its regulation. CRP is a dimer (Mr~47,000) of two identical subunits. There are two binding domains in the CRP monomer, one for the binding of the cAMP and the other for the binding of specific DNA sequences. (omitted)
