Abstract excerpt
Transcription from many Escherichia coli promoters can be activated by the cAMP-CRP complex bound at different locations upstream of the promoter. At some locations the mechanism of activation involves direct protein-protein contacts between CRP and the RNA polymerase. We positioned the CRP bindi...
