Sequence analysis indicates that there is a strong CRP-binding site located upstream of the nifU promoter, overlapping completely with a previously identified Nif A-binding site. In vitro gel retardation analysis indicates that this putative CRP-binding site has similar affinity for CRP, when compared with that at the lac promoter, suggesting that CRP could effectively compete with NifA for such a binding site under physiological conditions. When this putative CRP-binding site on nifU was mutated, in vitro gel retardation analysis indicates that CRP can no longer bind to the mutant promoter. However, when constitutively expressed NifA is used as the activator, CRP-cAMP-mediated inhibitory effect on this mutant nifU promoter has no significant difference when compared with that obtained from its wild-type promoter. 关键词：CRP-cAMP the nifU PROMOTER gene regulation.
