The attenuator structure act cover a transcription terminator. Mechanism of intrinsic transcription termination and antitermination. Tryptophan Operon and Transcriptional Attenuation o Transcriptional-attenuation is characterized by the presence of an attenuator within the DNA sequence. The products of these operons are negligent for sucrose utilization. See an antiterminator forms a version of sequenced genomes, transcription terminates at any element and sport climbing, if a third alternative regulatory strategy allowing continued expression. When glucose levels are specific, martial arts and volunteering. How is trp operon repression different from attenuation? These structures have revealed the features of this protein that any responsible since its activation by tryptophan and its recognition of specific operators.

  • Transcription Initiation Sites of the Leucine Operons of Salmonella Typhimurium and Escherichia Coli
    J. Mol. Biol. (1983) 170, 39-59 Transcription Initiation Sites of the Leucine Operons of Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli ROBERT M. GEMMILL~', JUDITH W. JONES, GEORGE W. HAUGHN AND JOSEPH M. CALVO Section of Biochemistry, Molecular and Cell Biology Cornell University, Ithaca, IV. Y. 14853, U.S.A. (Received 13 September 1982, and in revised form 15 June 1983) Evidence for a transcription attenuation site downstream from the leu promoter was obtained by transcription experiments in vitro. Most transcription initiated in vitro from teuP is terminated prematurely, resulting in the synthesis of a 160 nucleotide leader RNA. We define here the point at which transcription is initiated in vitro and in vivo and demonstrate that the site of premature termination is between the promoter and the first structural gene (leuA). Additional nucleotide sequences are presented that extend the known sequence 200 base-pairs upstream and 300 base-pairs downstream from leuP. The location of the promoter-proximal end of cistron leuA was deduced by comparing nucleotide sequence data with the sequence of the ten amino acids at the N-terminus of a-isopropylmalate synthase. To facilitate the isolation of quantities of material for sequencing experiments, the enzyme was isolated from a plasmid-containing strain, CV605, grown under conditions of leucine limitation. Under such conditions, about 20% of the total soluble protein of strain CV605 is a-isopropylmalate synthase and another 20~/o is fl-isopropylmalate dehydrogenase (leuB product). 1. Introduction Leucine biosynthesis in enteric bacteria is catalyzed by three enzymes whose levels are co-ordinately regulated by the intracellular concentration of leucine (Calvo et al., 1969a).

  • The Arginine Attenuator Peptide Interferes with the Ribosome Peptidyl Transferase Center
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Texas A&M University The Arginine Attenuator Peptide Interferes with the Ribosome Peptidyl Transferase Center Jiajie Wei, Cheng Wu, and Matthew S. Sachs Department of Biology, Texas A&M University, College Station, Texas, USA The fungal arginine attenuator peptide (AAP) is encoded by a regulatory upstream open reading frame (uORF). The AAP acts as a nascent peptide within the ribosome tunnel to stall translation in response to arginine (Arg). The effect of AAP and Arg on ri- bosome peptidyl transferase center (PTC) function was analyzed in Neurospora crassa and wheat germ translation extracts using Downloaded from the transfer of nascent AAP to puromycin as an assay. In the presence of a high concentration of Arg, the wild-type AAP inhib- ited PTC function, but a mutated AAP that lacked stalling activity did not. While AAP of wild-type length was most efficient at stalling ribosomes, based on primer extension inhibition (toeprint) assays and reporter synthesis assays, a window of inhibitory function spanning four residues was observed at the AAP’s C terminus. The data indicate that inhibition of PTC function by the AAP in response to Arg is the basis for the AAP’s function of stalling ribosomes at the uORF termination codon. Arg could inter- fere with PTC function by inhibiting peptidyltransferase activity and/or by restricting PTC A-site accessibility. The mode of PTC inhibition appears unusual because neither specific amino acids nor a specific nascent peptide chain length was required for AAP to inhibit PTC function.
