Cyclic-AMP and bacterial cyclic-AMP receptor proteins revisited: adaptation for different ecological niches
Highlights • E. coli cyclic-AMP receptor protein (CRP) is a paradigm of gene regulation. • Comparison of CRPs reveals differences in their affinity of cAMP. • A range of dependency on cAMP for DNA-binding exists. • CRPs have adapted to function in the specific niches occupied by the bacteria....
