Catabolite repression is exerted through a second messenger called cyclic AMP (cAMP) and the positive regulator protein called the catabolite repressor protein (CRP), a dimer.

CAP–cAMP complex stimulates transcription of the lac operon by binding to an activator-binding site adjacent to the promoter and helping RNA polymerase bind to the promoter.

CAP–cAMP increases the rate of formation of the closed promoter complex, CAP–cAMP provides CPC for conversion to the open promoter complex. 

Thus, the net effect of CAP–cAMP is to increase the rate of open promoter complex formation.
