Abstract excerpt
Expression of the Salmonella typhimurium pyrC and pyrD genes is regulated in response to fluctuations in the intracellular CTP/GTP pool ratio. The repressive mechanism involves the formation of a stable secondary structure (hairpin) at the 5' ends of the transcripts that precludes translational initiation by sequestering sequences required for ribosomal binding. The potential for hairpin formation is controlled...
