The iron-dependent repressor YtgR is a tryptophan-dependent attenuator of the trpRBA operon in Chlamydia trachomatis

Chlamydia trachomatis does not possess TrpL-mediated transcription attenuation of its trp operon. Here, the authors show that an iron-dependent regulator, YtgR, acts as a tryptophan-dependent attenuator of the trp operon in this organism, due to translational regulation of YtgR levels via a triple t...
