Figure 24.1.4.2

Crystal structure, at 3 Å resolution, of the E. coli catabolite gene activator protein (CAP) complexed with a 30-base-pair DNA sequence. It shows that the DNA is bent by 90°. This bend results almost entirely from two 40° kinks that occur between TG/CA base pairs at positions 5 and 6 on each side of the dyad axis of the complex (Schultz et al., 1991), PDB ID code 1CGP, as illustrated in the SwissProt images available on the WWW (Peitsch et al., 1995).
