Catabolite activator protein
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Catabolite Activator Protein (CAP; also known as cAMP receptor protein , CRP ) is a transcriptional activator that exists as a homodimer in solution, with each subunit comprising a ligand -binding domain at the N-terminus (CAPN , residues 1-138), which is also responsible for the dimerization of the protein, and a DNA-binding domain at the C-terminus (DBD, residues 139-209). 1 2 Two cAMP (cyclic AMP ) molecules bind dimeric CAP with negative cooperativity and function as allosteric effectors by increasing the protein's affinity for DNA . Cytosolic cAMP levels rise when the amount of glucose transported into the cell is low.
CAP has a characteristic helix-turn-helix structure that allows it to bind to successive major grooves on DNA. The two helices are reinforcing each, causing a 43° turn in the structure, so overall causing a 94° degree turn in the DNA. 3
This opens the DNA molecule up, allowing RNA polymerase to bind and transcribe the genes involved in lactose catabolism . 1 2 cAMP-CAP is required for transcription of the lac operon .
CAP is responsible for catabolite repression , a well-known example of a modulon .
