Abstract excerpt
To test features of the current model of transcription attenuation in amino acid biosynthetic operons, alterations were introduced into the trp operon leader region and expression of the mutated operons was examined in miaA and miaA+ Escherichia coli strains that lacked the trp repressor. The miaA mutation prevents modification of the adenosine residue immediately 3' of the anticodon of tRNAs that interact with...
