Intriguingly , association of AraC with the site in dcp , as measured by ChIP/qPCR , is the highest of all AraC-bound regions in the E. coli genome ( Fig. 1A ) .
Specifically , we identified three novel binding targets of AraC ( upstream of ytfQ and ydeN and within dcp ) and five novel AraC-regulated genes ( ytfQ , ydeN , ydeM , ygeA , and polB ) .
AraC binding within dcp is not associated with detectable regulation of transcription .
We detected binding of AraC within dcp .
