Abstract excerpt
Expression of the cobalamin (Cbl) biosynthetic cob operon in Salmonella typhimurium is repressed by the end-product. This regulation is conferred mainly at the translational level and involves a cobalamin-induced folding of an RNA hairpin that sequesters the ribosomal binding site (RBS) of the cob mRNA and prevents translation initiation. A combined structural and mutational analysis shows that a cis-acting...
