Figures

FIG. 1
FIG. 1
The stages and events that can occur during transcription of the leader region of the trp operon of E. coli. The paired numbers 1:2, 2:3, and 3:4 refer to the RNA strand pairs that form the three leader RNA hairpin structures: the initial transcription pause structure (1:2), the antiterminator (2:3), and the terminator (3:4). 1, 2, 3, and 4 refer to sequential linear segments of the trp leader transcript. This figure is slightly modified from Landick et al. (34).
