Abstract excerpt
The divergent nag regulon located at 15.5 min on the Escherichia coli map encodes genes necessary for growth on N-acetylglucosamine and glucosamine. Full induction of the regulon requires both the presence of N-acetylglucosamine and a functional cyclic AMP (cAMP)-catabolite activator protein (CAP...
