Transcription activation by Escherichia coli catabolite activator protein (CAP) at each of two
classes of simple CAP-dependent promoters is understood in structural and mechanistic …

This review covers the physiological aspects of regulation of the arabinose operon in
Escherichia coli and the physical and regulatory properties of the operon's controlling gene …

Over forty years of research on the l-arabinose operon of Escherichia coli have provided
insights into the mechanism of positive regulation of gene activity. This research also …

The cyclic AMP receptor protein (CRP) of Escherichia coli is a dimer made up of identical
subunits. Each CRP subunit contains a cyclic nucleotide binding pocket and the CRP dimer …

Escherichia coli can uptake and utilize many common natural sugars to form biomass or
valuable target bio-products. Carbon catabolite repression (CCR) will occur and hamper the …

In Escherichia coli, cyclic AMP receptor protein (CRP) is known to regulate the transcription
of about 100 genes. The signal to activate CRP is the binding of cyclic AMP. It has been …

Background The efficient microbial utilization of lignocellulosic hydrolysates has remained
challenging because this material is composed of multiple sugars and also contains growth …

Isoprenoids are a large and diverse class of compounds that includes many high value
natural products and are thus in great demand. To meet the increasing demand for …

The genomes of all organisms abound with various cis-regulatory elements, which control
gene activity. Transcriptional enhancers are a key group of such elements in eukaryotes and …

N-terminal deletions extending beyond the sixth amino acid of the Escherichia coli regulator
of the l-arabinose operon, AraC, were found to generate constitutive regulatory behavior of …
