• Regulatory mechanism:
  • CodY: transcription repression PubMed
  • AbrB: transcription repression PubMed

• Additional information:
  • the tricistronic yxbB-yxbA-yxnB transcript is extremely stable, and stability is mediated by a 5'-proximal long sequence triplication preceding the yxbB open reading frame PubMed
