Lactobacillus bulgaricus asparagine synthetase and asparaginyl-tRNA synthetase: coregulation by transcription antitermination?

Genes encoding the ammonia-dependent asparagine synthetase (asnA) and asparaginyl-tRNA synthetase (asnS) have been cloned from Lactobacillus bulgaricus ATCC 11842. The nucleotide sequence suggests that asnA and asnS are organized as one operon and regulated by the tRNA-directed transcription antitermination mechanism (T. M. Henkin, Mol. Microbiol. 13:381-387, 1994).
