Positive regulation of gene expression by cyclic AMP and its receptor protein in Escherichia coli.
The role of cyclic AMP in the modulation of gene expression in Escherichia coli is briefly reviewed. Recent results concerning the molecular mechanism by which cyclic AMP and its receptor protein activate transcription initiation are discussed.
