AltName:		Full=Trp RNA-binding attenuation protein;
		Short=TRAP;
AltName:		Full=Tryptophan RNA-binding attenuator protein;

Gene name

mtrB

Comments [?]

Function	Required for transcription attenuation control in the Trp operon. This trans-acting factor seems to recognize a 10 bases nucleotide sequence in the Trp leader transcript causing transcription termination. Binds the leader RNA only in presence of L-tryptophan.
Subunit	Oligomer of 11 identical subunits arranged in doughnut-like structure.
Similarity	Belongs to the MtrB family.
