Crc (protein)

The Catabolite repression control (Crc) protein participates in suppressing expression of several genes involved in utilization of carbon sources in Pseudomonas bacteria. [2]Presence of organic acids triggers activation of Crc and in conjunction with the Hfq protein genes that metabolize a given carbon source are downregulated until another more favorable carbon source is depleted.[3] Crc-mediated regulation impact processes such as biofilm formation,[4] virulence [5] and antibiotic susceptibility.[6]

Identifiers
SymbolCrc
PfamPF03372
CDDcd08372

Interactions
A consensus sequence targeted by Crc mediated regulation

Hfq and Crc bind to A-rich sequences in the ribosome binding sites of genes that code for carbon utilization enzymes and consequently suppress their translation.[7]
