CRP-cyclic AMP dependent inhibition of the xylene-responsive σ(54)-promoter Pu in Escherichia coli.

The expression of σ(54)-dependent Pseudomonas putida Pu promoter is activated by XylR activator when cells are exposed to a variety of aromatic inducers. In this study, the transcriptional activation of the P. putida Pu promoter was recreated in the heterologous host Escherichia coli. Here we show t...
