All three share negative control features, using repressor proteins binding to operators to place the operon in the "off" state. The first two have positive control features that increase transcription in response to low glucose (CAP-cAMP binding to the CAP site). This is not the case for the tryptophan operon. The tryptophan operon, however, has the additional negative control feature of attenuation. These features are summarized in the following table:

The attenuator
towards the end of the leader sequence precedes the trpE initiator codon a short GC-rich palindrome followed by 8 successive U residues . able to form a hairpin structure in RNA transcript

6 Attenuation in the trp operon
Effectively adds a precise adjustment to the regulation of the trp operon. Several key points: 1. Transcription & translation are tightly coupled in bacteria (attenuation requires this). 2. translation can occur as an mRNA is being transcribed .

8 Operon summary
We have considered in detail three operons: the lac operon, the ara operon, and the trp operon. The first two are operons concerned with the control of catabolic processes (utilization of energy substrates) while the third is concerned with anabolic processes (synthesis of a molecule the cell needs).

At first ,it was thought the repressor was responsible for all the transcriptional regulation of the trp operon . However ,it was observed that the deletion of a sequence between the operator and trpE resulted in an increase in both the basal and the activated levels of transcription . There must be another transcription regulation
