[同义词] Catabolic Gene Activators
[主题词] Cyclic AMP Receptor Protein
[中文释义] 分解代谢基因激活物
[英文释义] A transcriptional regulator in prokaryotes which,when activated by binding cyclic AMP,acts at several promoters. Cyclic AMP receptor protein was originally identified as a catabolite gene activator protein. It was subsequently shown to regulate several functions unrelated to catabolism,and to be both a negative and a positive regulator of transcription. Cell surface cyclic AMP receptors are not included (CYCLIC AMP RECEPTORS),nor are the eukaryotic cytoplasmic cyclic AMP receptor proteins,which are the regulatory subunits of CYCLIC AMP-DEPENDENT PROTEIN KINASES.
