Abstract excerpt
The thrS gene in Bacillus subtilis is specifically induced by starvation for threonine and is, in addition, autorepressed by the overproduction of its own gene product, the threonyl-tRNA synthetase. Both methods of regulation employ an antitermination mechanism at a factor-independent transcription terminator that occurs just upstream of the start codon. The effector of the induction mechanism is thought to be...
