Abstract excerpt
The regulation of pyrG expression in a group of low GC Gram-positive bacteria was previously shown to be mediated by a novel form of transcription attenuation in which low levels of intracellular CTP induce reiterative addition of G residues at position +4 in the 5' end of the pyrG mRNA, which is encoded as pppGGGC. . . . The poly(G) sequences formed under these conditions act to prevent attenuation by base...
