- 1217426..1218418 tryptophanyl-tRNA synthetase COG0180 trpS-BAC trpS-STA x0244-BAC  

Operon evidence: Genome analysis
Reference: Chow KC & Wong JT (1988), Condon C, et al. (1996)
Comments: Transcriptional readthrough occurs at the stem-loop upstream of trpS if uncharged tryptophan tRNA binds to the T-box motif in the nascent mRNA transcript. The tRNA anticodon binds to the UGG codon in the sequence GAAUGGACU in the trpS leader mRNA.
