Abstract excerpt
The Bacillus subtilis glpD gene encodes glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase. This gene is preceded by a leader region containing an inverted repeat which acts as a transcription terminator. Expression of glpD is controlled by antitermination of transcription at the inverted repeat. Antitermination is effected by the glpP gene product in conjunction with glycerol-3-phosphate and, consequently, GlpP mutants fail to...
