Operon evidence: Northern blotting (4.9 kb transcript)
Reference: Shimotsu H & Henner DJ (1986), Aymerich S & Steinmetz M (1992), Pereira Y, et al. (2001)
Comments: The readthrough terminators downstream of sacB and yveB lead to a 1.7 kb monocistronic sacB transcript and a 3.3 kb sacB-yveB transcript, respectively. S1 nuclease mapping showed that in the absence of sucrose, transcription terminates at the stem-loop structure upstream of sacB; transcriptional termination is alleviated in the presence of sucrose by SacY (and to a lesser degree SacT) binding to the ribonucleic antiterminator (RAT) sequence.
