Abstract excerpt
The mechanism of repression of the tyrB promoter by TyrR protein has been studied in vivo and in vitro. In tyrR+ strains, transcription of tyrB is repressed by either tyrosine or phenylalanine. Both of the TyrR binding sites (strong and weak TyrR boxes) lie downstream of the tyrB transcription start site and are required for tyrosine- or phenylalanine-mediated repression. Our results establish that the binding of...
