Operon evidence: Northern blotting (7.5 kb transcript)
Reference: De Sazieu A, et al. (1997), BSORF
Comments: Readthrough terminators after pabA (undefined) and yacF result in a 2.1 kb transcript and a 5.9 kb transcript, respectively. Promoter deletions, reporter gene fusions, and Northern blotting (1.5 kb transcript) suggested the existence of an internal promoter in front of lysS. The MtrB product (TRAP) causes translational attenuation at the pabA ribosomal binding site under conditions of excess tryptophan.
