RESUMO
The Bacillus subtilis pyr operon is regulated by a transcriptional attenuation mechanism that requires the PyrR regulatory protein. Multicopy plasmids that could be transcribed to yield segments of RNA from the attenuation regions of the pyr operon induced derepression of chromosomal pyr genes, whereas plasmids that could not yield pyr RNA did not. We conclude that pyr RNA acts by titrating the PyrR protein and preventing it from regulating pyr attenuation.
