Catabolite control protein

Function

Catabolite control protein (CcpA) or glucose-resistant amylase regulator is a regulator of carbon metabolism in gram-positive bacteria. When high concentrations of glucose-6 phosphate or fructose-1,6-diphosphate are present in the cell, they phosphorylate proteins HPr or Crh which interact with CcpA. The latter binds to DNA operator to modulate transcription.^[1]

CcpC Regulates the transcription of genes belonging to the TCA cycle^[2] .
CcpE Regulates the transcription of genes belonging to the TCA cycle in Staphylococcus aureus^[3] .

Structural highlights

CcpA phosphorylation activity is carried out by a (PDB entry 2fep).^[4] ^[5]
