    • regulatory mechanism

  • [regulon|FMN-box|FMN-box]: transcription termination, via [SW|FMN-box] in the presence of FMN or FMNH2, this is counter-acted upon binding of [protein|3D32B6C1DC9CAC615B02E14EA846648C3B0E61D6|RibR], in [regulon|FMN-box|FMN-box]

    • regulation

  • expressed in the absence of FMN ([SW|FMN-box]) [Pubmed|15808508]
  • binding of FMN to the [SW|FMN-box] RNA is facilitated by [protein|43CFA3477B4EEB4CE0B2DF63ED2B5EDB171E79C7|NusG]-mediated transcription pausing [pubmed|32817529]
