Abstract excerpt
The pyrimidine nucleotide biosynthetic (pyr) operon in Bacillus subtilis is regulated by a transcriptional attenuation mechanism in which PyrR, a bifunctional pyr RNA-binding attenuation protein/uracil phosphoribosyltransferase, plays a crucial role. A convenient procedure for isolation of pyrR mutants with defects in the regulation of pyr operon expression is described. The selection is based on the selection of...
