Catbolite
Activator Protein a homodimer that binds cAMP increasing the protein's affinity for DNA enhancing RNA polymerase's ability to transcribe the structural genes of the LAC Operon |
|
The CAP DNA binding domain is a helix-turn-helix motif that binds to major groove of DNA, opening it thus allowing RNA polymerase to bind and transcribe LAC Operon genes. |
