Kraus A, Hillen W
Abstract excerpt
Five mutations in ccpA of Bacillus megaterium with impaired functions were analysed for carbon catabolite repression. The phenotypes support the hypothesis that CcpA assumes a PurR/LacI fold. The completely inactive mutants CcpA119GE and CcpA326am cause alterations which are incompatible with that fold. A mutation with reduced activity, CcpA81GE, affects a site that would be partially surface exposed and may...
