The cAMP-catabolite activator protein (CAP) complex is a pleiotropic regulator that regulates a vast number of Escherichia coli genes, including those involved in carbon metabolism. We identified two new targets of this complex: argG, which encodes the arginosuccinate synthase involved in the arginine biosynthetic pathway, and metY, which encodes one of the two methionine tRNA initiators, tRNAf2Met. The cAMP-CAP complex activates argG transcription and inhibits metY transcription from the same D ...[more]
