What is the function of the seven phenylalanine codons in the 15-amino-acid leader peptide shown
below in the regulation of the E. coli phe operon?
phe operon
Met - Lys - His - lle - Pro - Phe- Phe-Phe - Ala - Phe - Phe - Phe - Thr - Phe - Pro - Stop
5' AUG - AAA - CÁC - AUA - CCG - UUU - UUU - UUC - GCA - UUC - UUU - UUU - ACC - UUC - CCC - UGA 3'
Could the transcriptional attenuation mechanism found in the amino acid biosynthetic operons regulate
gene expression in eukaryotic cells? Briefly explain your reasoning.
