Abstract

Genetics and biochemistry have been exploited to investigate transcription activation by the Escherichia coli CRP (cAMP receptor protein) factor at promoters with a DNA site for CRP near position -41 and the effects of a second upstream-bound CRP molecule. We show that the upstream-bound CRP contributes to transcription activation by improving the recruitment of RNA polymerase.
