Haemophilus influenzae Rd becomes competent for transformation by nutritional downshift or transient anaerobic growth through a process that requires cyclic AMP receptor protein and adenylate cyclase. Insertion mutations in crr or ptsI of the phosphoenolpyruvate:carbohydrate phosphotransferase system lowered transformation frequencies, and the effect was reversed by the addition of cyclic AMP. However, insertions into H. influenzae homologs of two-component signal transduction genes had no effect on competence.
