Abstract excerpt
The cAMP receptor protein (CRP) of Escherichia coli undergoes a conformational change in response to cAMP binding that allows it to bind specific DNA sequences. Using an in vivo screening method following the simultaneous randomization of the codons at positions 127 and 128 (two C-helix residues of the protein interacting with cAMP), we have isolated a series of novel constitutively active CRP variants. Sequence...
