We used primer extension and mutational analysis to identify a promoter upstream of ilvB, the first gene in the ilv-leu operon of Bacillus subtilis. Between the promoter and ilvB, there is a 482-bp leader region which contains a sequence that resembles a factor-independent transcription terminator. In in vitro transcription experiments, 90% of transcripts initiated at the ilvB promoter ended at a site near this terminator. Primer extension analysis of RNA synthesized in vivo showed that the steady-state level of mRNA upstream of the terminator was twofold higher from cells limited for leucine than it was from cells grown with excess leucine. mRNA downstream of the terminator was 14-fold higher in cells limited for leucine than in cells grown with excess leucine. Measurement of mRNA degradation rates showed that the half-life of ilv-leu mRNA was the same when the cells were grown with or without leucine. These data demonstrate that the ilv-leu operon is regulated by transcription attenuation.
