    regulatory mechanism

  • [regulon|T-box|T-box]: transcriptional antitermination, via tRNA controlled [SW|RNA switch], in [regulon|T-box|T-box]
  • regulation

  • induced by histidine or aspartate limitation ([SW|T-box]) [Pubmed|19258532]
  • the [SW|T-box] RNA is degraded by [protein|872CCB5A49C9000BD95E4B0472556D5F60F7D7A4|RNase Y] [pubmed|29794222]
