Abstract excerpt
The repression of aroP expression which is mediated by the TyrR protein with phenylalanine, tyrosine, or tryptophan has been shown to be primarily a direct result of TyrR-mediated activation of a divergent promoter, P3, which directs the RNA polymerase away from promoter P1. Evidence which has been presented to support this conclusion is as follows. Repression of P1 does not occur either in vitro or in vivo if...
