Catalytic defects in mutants of class II histidyl-tRNA synthetase from Salmonella typhimurium previously linked to decreased control of histidine biosynthesis regulation.

Abstract excerpt

The expression of histidine biosynthetic genes in enteric bacteria is regulated by an attenuation mechanism in which the level of histidyl-tRNA serves as a key sensor of the intracellular histidine pool. Among the early observations that led to the formation of this model for Salmonella typhimuri...
