摘要
In this review, we summarize progress on the regulation of the aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase genes in Bacillus subtilis. Most of the genes encoding this set of enzymes in B subtilis are members of a large family of Gram-positive genes and operons controlled by a novel antitermination mechanism that uses their cognate uncharged tRNA as the effector. A subset of these genes is, in addition, likely to be controlled at the level of mRNA processing and degradation. We describe the key experiments leading to these conclusions.
