    Description: The Escherichia coli catabolite activator protein (CAP) activates transcription at P(lac), P(gal), and other promoters through interactions with the RNA polymerase alpha subunit carboxyl-terminal domain (alphaCTD). We determined the crystal structure of the CAP-alphaCTD-DNA complex at a resolution of 3.1 angstroms. CAP makes direct protein-protein interactions with alphaCTD, and alphaCTD makes direct protein-DNA interactions with the DNA segment adjacent to the DNA site for CAP. There are no large-scale conformational changes in CAP and alphaCTD, and the interface between CAP and alphaCTD is small. These findings are consistent with the proposal that activation involves a simple "recruitment" mechanism.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Benoff, Brian -- Yang, Huanwang -- Lawson, Catherine L -- Parkinson, Gary -- Liu, Jinsong -- Blatter, Erich -- Ebright, Yon W -- Berman, Helen M -- Ebright, Richard H -- GM21589/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM41376/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- GM64375/GM/NIGMS NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2002 Aug 30;297(5586):1562-6.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Waksman Institute and Department of Chemistry, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Rutgers University, Piscataway, NJ 08854, USA.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12202833" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
