Abstract

AbstractTwo observations suggest that DNA, upon binding to E. coli catabolite gene activator protein (CAP), is sharply bent by a total angle of at least 100–150 degrees: (1) The electrostatic protential field of CAP shows regions of positive potential that from a ramp on 3 sides of the protein. (2) The DNA binding site size as determined by DNA ethylation interference with binding, (Majors: “Control of the E. coli Lac Operon at the Molecular Level.” Ph.D. Thesis, Harvard University, Cambridge, 1977) and by relative affinities of DNA fragments of various lengths (Liu‐Johnson et al.: Cell 47:995–1005, 1986) requires severe bending of the DNA to maintain its favorable electrostatic contact with the protein.
