Lysine-induced premature transcription termination in the lysC operon of Bacillus subtilis.

Microbiology (Reading, England) - 1 Jul 1996

Kochhar S, Paulus H

Abstract excerpt

The expression of the Bacillus subtilis lysC operon, which encodes the first specific enzyme of lysine biosynthesis, is controlled by the availability of the end product, lysine. The question of whether lysine exerts its control by inducing premature termination of transcription was addressed usi...
