Bacteria from the genus Caulobacter are used to model cellular differentiation in eukaryotes. The abundance of CtrA, DnaA, and GcrA separately control activity of other genes necessary for differentiation in Caulobacter. Thus, these three proteins can be classified as
A) activating sensors. B) heterologous regulators. C) differentiating regulons. D) transcriptional regulators.
