Abstract excerpt
The regulatory functions of the leader region preceding the Lactococcus lactis trp operon have been studied by mutagenesis analysis. This leader presents striking similarity to 'T-box' leaders found upstream of many Gram-positive aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase genes and some amino acid biosynthesis operons, which are controlled by antitermination through interaction of the leader transcript with cognate uncharged...
