Involvement of a Putative Cyclic AMP Receptor Protein (CRP)-Like Binding Sequence and a CRP-Like Protein in Glucose-Mediated Catabolite Repression of thn Genes in Rhodococcus sp. Strain TFB

摘要

Glucose catabolite repression of tetralin catabolic genes in Rhodococcus sp. strain TFB was shown to be exerted by a protein homologous to transcriptional regulators of the cyclic AMP receptor (CRP)-FNR family. The protein was detected bound to putative CRP-like boxes localized at the promoters of the thnA1 and thnS genes.
