Catabolite Activator Protein — Bei der Katabolitrepression wird die Expression bestimmter Stoffwechselkomponenten (katabolische, also verstoffwechselnde Enzyme) einer Zelle solange unterdrückt, wie ein bestimmtes Stoffwechselprodukt (Katabolit) in signifikanter Menge vorhanden … Deutsch Wikipedia
catabolite activator protein — Abbreviation: CAP A protein which combines with cyclic AMP. The cAMP CAP complex binds to the promoter regions of E. coli and stimulates transcription of the relevant operon. Synonyms: catabolite regulator protein (CRP), cyclic AMP receptor… … Glossary of Biotechnology
Activator (genetics) — An activator is a DNA binding protein that regulates one or more genes by increasing the rate of transcription. The activator may increase transcription by virtue of a connected domain which assists in the formation of the RNA polymerase… … Wikipedia
catabolite repression — Inducible enzyme systems in some microorganisms (such as the lac operon) that are repressed when a more favoured carbon source, such as glucose, is available. Repression in E. coli is partially relieved if cAMP is bound to the cAMP catabolite… … Dictionary of molecular biology
Protein — A large molecule composed of one or more chains of amino acids in a specific order determined by the base sequence of nucleotides in the DNA coding for the protein. Proteins are required for the structure, function, and regulation of the body s… … Medical dictionary
