A cyclic AMP-binding protein (CAP protein), cyclic AMP, and RNA polymerase holoenzyme are shown to initiate lac transcription at the lac promoter. Lac repressor appears to control transcription by preventing RNA polymerase and/or CAP protein from binding to the lac promoter. Results support the idea that the lac promoter is composed of two sites that interact with CAP protein and RNA polymerase holoenzyme. The promoter can be altered by mutation so that holoenzyme alone can initiate lac transcription correctly.
一种环腺苷酸结合蛋白(CAP蛋白)、环腺苷酸和RNA聚合酶全酶被证明在乳糖操纵子启动子处起始乳糖操纵子的转录。乳糖阻遏物似乎通过阻止RNA聚合酶和/或CAP蛋白与乳糖操纵子启动子结合来控制转录。结果支持这样一种观点,即乳糖操纵子启动子由两个与CAP蛋白和RNA聚合酶全酶相互作用的位点组成。启动子可通过突变而改变,从而使单独的全酶能够正确起始乳糖操纵子的转录。
