Abstract excerpt
In several Gram-positive bacterial species, the global transcriptional regulatory protein CodY adjusts the expression of many metabolic genes, apparently in response to changes in the pools of specific metabolites, i.e., the branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) isoleucine, leucine, and valine (ILV) and the nucleoside triphosphate GTP. CodY not only responds to these metabolites as measured in vitro but also...
