Abstract excerpt
Transcription from cistrons of the Escherichia coli CytR regulon is activated by E. coli cAMP receptor protein (CRP) and repressed by a multiprotein complex composed of CRP and CytR. De-repression results when CytR binds cytidine. CytR is a homodimer and a LacI family member. A central question for all LacI family proteins concerns the allosteric mechanism that couples ligand binding to the protein-DNA and...
