The regulatory region of the trp operon of Serratia marcescens

Nature volume 276, pages 684–689 (1978)Cite this article

Abstract

The nucleotide sequence of the regulatory region of the trp operon of Serratia marcescens is presented. It contains a transcription termination control site in the transcribed leader region preceding the first structural gene of the operon as well as a regulated promoter/operator transcription initiation region. The structural organisation of the leader region differs substantially from that of Escherichia coli.
