Abstract:
:The tyrT locus of E. coli contains a 208 bp spacer region that separates two copies of sequence encoding tRNATyr1. The spacer includes a 120 bp sequence that is homologous to a sequence that is repeated three times in the distal portion of the tyrT locus. The tyrT locus possesses a graded set of transcription termination sites that are spaced at 180 base intervals, corresponding to the distal repeated gene structure. The major termination site occurs within the second repeat unit, 225 bases beyond the mature tRNA sequences. In the presence of a temperature-sensitive rho protein there is increased read-through at this site to a termination site located 180 bases downstream in the third repeat and to several termination sites even further downstream. The primary native transcript, in the region distal to the second tRNA, carries the information for a low molecular weight, extremely basic protein. Although analogous coding sequences are present in the spacer and other repeat units, because of single base substitutions these sequences are pseudogenes. The parallel between the tyrT and TyrU gene clusters is discussed in relation to dual function transcripts that specify both tRNA and protein.
