AND-type promoter synergistically activated by cI and CRP

Two heterologous prokariotic activators, the bacteriophage lambda cI protein, and the E. coli cyclic AMP receptor protein (CRP), were shown to activate transcription synergistically from an artificial promoter bearing binding site for both proteins. The synergy depends on a functional activation (positive control) surface on each activator. Thus, both proteins interact directly with RNA polymerase.
