Evolutionary comparisons suggest many novel cAMP response protein binding sites in Escherichia coli.

Abstract excerpt

The cAMP response protein (CRP) is a transcription factor known to regulate many genes in Escherichia coli. Computational studies of transcription factor binding to DNA are usually based on a simple matrix model of sequence-dependent binding energy. For CRP, this model predicts many binding sites that are not known to be functional. If they are indeed spurious, the underlying binding model is called into...
