Abstract excerpt
The TraJ protein is a central activator of F-like plasmid conjugal transfer. In a search for regulators of traJ expression, we studied the possible regulatory role of the cyclic AMP (cAMP)-cAMP receptor protein (CRP) complex in traJ transcription using a traJ-lacZ reporter system. A comparison of the enzyme activities in the wild-type Escherichia coli strain MC4100 with those in cya and crp mutants indicated that...
