Catabolite activator protein is made to form a dimer by the presence of cyclic adenosine monophosphate in the absence of glucose, which binds to the promoter gene.
It was formulated in order to explain a two-phase growth curve in E. Coli when fed on mixed medium plates. Catabolite activator protein is made to form a dimer by the presence of cyclic adenosine monophosphate in the absence of glucose, which binds to the promoter gene. In a form of "leaky expression," the repressor gene is allosterically regulated by beta-galactosidase's metabolic substrate. Postulated by Jacques Monod in 1961, for 10 points, name this model of gene regulation partially named for a five-carbon sugar found in milk.
