Hiroji Aiba* andJoseph S. Krakow* abstract: The cyclic AMP receptor protein (CRP) is a positive and negative regulatory protein for gene expression in Escherichia coli. The protein has been cleaved proteolyt-ically to determine the relation between CRP structure and function. In thepresence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (Na-DodS04), chymotrypsin dissects CRP into two stable frag-ments of molecular weight 9500 (9.5 K) and 13 000 (13K). After removal of NaDodS04, the two fragments are resolved by Bio-Rex 70 chromatography in 6 M urea. Analyses of the terminal amino acids released from each fragment and cyanogen bromide cleavage products indicate that the 9.5 K fragment is amino proximal in CRP while the 13K fragment is carboxyl proximal. Notable features of amino acid com-position are the relatively high amount of arginine and me-thionine in the 13K fragment and theretention in the 9.5 K fragment of the two tryptophans present in the CRP subunit. Following isoelectric focusing in 8 M urea, the 9.5 K fragment, 22.5 K CRP, and 13Kfragment migrate to pH 5.5, 8.3, and 10.3, respectively. While CRP is a cAMP-stimulated DNA binding protein, the 13Kfragment bindsto DNA in the presence and absence of cAMP. The 9.5 K fragment associates to form dimersand decamers. These data are consonant with a model in which the DNA bindingdomain is present in the carboxyl proximal region of CRP while the amino proximal region contains the subunit-subunit interaction sites andmuch of the cAMP bindingdomain. e cyclic AMP receptor protein (CRP)* 1 is a positive reg-ulatory factor for gene expression in Escherichia coli. In the presence of cAMP, CRP binds to sites within the promoter loci of catabolite-repressible operons, enabling RNA polym-erase to form the open promoter complex prerequisite to in-
