Cyclic AMP-induced conformational change of cyclic AMP receptor protein (CRP): intragenic suppressors of cyclic AMP-independent CRP mutations.
We isolated and characterized crp mutations in Escherichia coli that allow cyclic AMP (cAMP) receptor protein to function without cAMP. These mutants defined a region involved in the cAMP-induced allosteric change of cAMP receptor protein that is necessary for activation of the protein. Currently, we have isolated intragenic suppressors of the crp mutations. These crp (Sup) mutants require cAMP...
متن کاملTranscription activation by Escherichia coli FNR protein: similarities to, and differences from, the CRP paradigm.
During transcription activation at FNR-dependent promoters where the DNA site for FNR overlaps the -35 element, a surface-exposed activating region in the upstream subunit of the FNR dimer interacts with the C-terminal domain of the RNA polymerase alpha subunit. Starting with a cloned fnr gene encoding a defective FNR derivative carrying substitutions in this activating region, we screened a li...
متن کاملPosttranscriptional Regulation of the Yersinia pestis Cyclic AMP Receptor Protein Crp and Impact on Virulence
UNLABELLED The cyclic AMP receptor protein (Crp) is a transcriptional regulator that controls the expression of numerous bacterial genes, usually in response to environmental conditions and particularly by sensing the availability of carbon. In the plague pathogen Yersinia pestis, Crp regulates the expression of multiple virulence factors, including components of the type III secretion system a...
متن کاملDirect regulation of the natural competence regulator gene tfoX by cyclic AMP (cAMP) and cAMP receptor protein (CRP) in Vibrios
TfoX (Sxy) and CRP are two important competence activators. The link between tfoX and CRP has been shown in H. influenza but lacking evidence of direct interaction. Recently a Sxy-dependent CRP (CRP-S) site autoregulating Sxy was reported in E. coli. Here, we show that the cAMP-CRP complex transcriptionally regulates tfoX expression through multiple canonical CRP (CRP-N) sites in Vibrios. This ...
متن کاملCloning of binding sequences for the Escherichia coli transcription activators, FNR and CRP: location of bases involved in discrimination between FNR and CRP.
Expression from the E.coli melR promoter (pmelR) is normally totally dependent on the transcription activator protein, CRP. We describe experiments with a genetically engineered DNA fragment carrying pmelR in which the wild type CRP binding site was replaced with synthetic oligonucleotides containing either FNR or CRP binding sequences. When the synthetic oligonucleotide contains the 22 bp cons...
