Simultaneous induction of two enzymes sensitive to catabolite repression does not lead to an additive decrease of the specific activity of the two. Exogenously added cAMP increases the specific activity of catabolically repressed enzymes, irrespective of whether the enzyme is induced separately or simultaneously with another enzyme. In the presence of 12 different substrates metabolized by inducible enzymes glucose does not bring about catabolite repression. Synthesis of cAMP is identical with that occurring under conditions when glucose brings about catabolite repression.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
