The lac operon is additionally regulated through binding of the cAMP-receptor protein, CRP (also termed the catabolite activator protein, CAP) to sequences near the promoter domain of the operon. The result is a 50 fold enhancement of polymerase activity. 4, record 1, English, - catabolite%20activator%20protein
