Operon evidence: Northern blotting (2.4 kb transcript); S1 nuclease mapping of the 3' end

Comments: Readthrough at this terminator leads to a 4.4 kb glpFKD transcript. This terminator also functions as a terminator/anti-terminator for transcription starting from the glpD promoter. S1 nuclease mapping of the 3' mRNA end shows that transcription ends in the TGGTCTCT section just in front of the T-stretch. The antiterminator protein GlpP is thought to allow transcription to proceed, in the presence of glycerol-3-phosphate through the stemloop structure between the glpF promoter and coding sequence.
