Abstract excerpt

In Rhizobium meliloti, the genes involved in biosynthesis of the amino acid tryptophan are found at three separate chromosomal locations. Of the three gene clusters, trpE(G), trpDC, and trpFBA, only the trpE(G) gene is regulated by the end product of the pathway, tryptophan. We found that trpE(G)...
