The cyclic AMP receptor protein (CRP) acts as a transcription activator at many promoters of Escherichia coli. We have examined the kinetics of open complex formation at the lacP1 promoter using tryptophan fluorescence of RNA polymerase and DNA fragments with 2-aminopurine substituted at specific positions. Apart from the closed complex formation and promoter clearance, we were able to detect three steps. The first step after the closed complex formation leads to a rapid increase of 2-aminopurine fluorescence. This was followed by another rapid step in which quenching of tryptophan fluorescence of RNA polymerase was observed. The slowest step detected by 2-aminopurine fluorescence increase is assigned to the final open complex formation. We have found that CRP not only enhances RNA polymerase binding at the promoter, but also enhances the slowest isomerization step by about 2-fold. Furthermore, potassium permanganate probing shows that the conformation of the open complex in the presence of CRP appears qualitatively and quantitatively different from that in the absence of CRP, suggesting that contact with RNA polymerase is maintained throughout the transcription initiation.
