Operon evidence: S1 nuclease mapping of 3' end (transcript ends at the T at position 710789); Northern blotting (12.8 kb transcript). About half of the transcripts terminate at the stemloop structure downstream of purF. S1 nuclease and reporter gene experiments showed that guanine can cause transcriptional termination 195 bp downstream of the transcription start site at the antiterminator structure in front of purE. Repression by adenine is mediated by PurR.
