| Abstract | The trp RNA-binding attenuation protein (TRAP) regulates expression of the Bacillus subtilis trpEDCFBA operon by transcription attenuation and translation control mechanisms. Both mechanisms require the binding of tryptophan-activated TRAP to the 11 (G/U)AG-repeat segment in the trp leader transcript. To promote termination, TRAP must bind to the nascent RNA before the antiterminator structure forms. Because only 20 nucleotides separate the TRAP-binding site from the 3' end of the antiterminator, TRAP has a short time frame to control this regulatory decision. Synchronization of factor binding and/or RNA folding with the RNA polymerase position is a major challenge in all attenuation mechanisms. Because RNA polymerase pausing allows this synchronization in many attenuation mechanisms, we performed experiments in vitro to determine whether pausing participates in the B. subtilis trp attenuation mechanism. We identified two NusA-stimulated pause sites in the trp leader region. Formation of pause hairpins participates in pausing at both positions. The first pause occurred at the nucleotide just preceding the critical overlap between the alternative antiterminator and terminator structures. TRAP binding to transcripts containing preexisting pause complexes releases RNA polymerase, suggesting that pausing provides additional time for TRAP to bind and promote termination. The second pause is downstream from the trp leader termination point, raising the possibility that this pause event participates in the trpE translation control mechanism. NusA also increases the efficiency of termination in the trp leader region and shifts termination one nucleotide upstream. Finally, NusA-stimulated termination is cooperative, suggesting that binding of multiple NusA molecules influences termination. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
