Abstract
Antipain kills Escherichia coli K-12 cells in an exponential manner beginning 1 h after its addition. Mutant strains, delta cya and crp, which are unable to synthesize cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP) and the cAMP receptor protein, respectively, are not affected. Addition of cAMP (5 mM) to antipain-treated mutant strains causes killing of delta cya cells, but not crp cells. Thus the lethal effect of antipain is dependent upon cAMP and its receptor protein.Entities:
