title: An adenosine 3':5'-cyclic monophosphate-binding protein that acts on the transcription process.
abstract: An assay system for the in vitro transcription of the lac operon is described. A protein factor (CAP) and cyclic AMP, which are essential for the lac expression in vivo, also stimulate lac transcription in vitro.
