Catabolite Control Protein A (CcpA) is a master regulator of carbon metabolism in gram-positive bacteria.{{Cite journal | doi-access = free
Structure
The DNA-binding functional unit of CcpA consists of a homodimer. The N-terminal region of each monomer form a DNA-binding site while the C-terminal portion forms a "regulatory" domain. A short linker connects the N-terminal DNA binding domain and the C-terminal regulatory domain, which partially contacts DNA when bound. The LacI/GalR subfamily can be functionally subdivided based on the presence or absence of a "YxxPxxxAxxL" motif in the liker sequence; CcpA belongs to the subdivision containing this motif.{{Cite journal
