The pheST operon codes for the two subunits of phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase and it expression is controlled by attenuation in a way similar to many amino acid biosynthetic operons. The nucleotide sequence of the control regions of the operon indicates the presence of several open reading frames besides that of the leader peptide. One of these open reading frames, called the alternative leader peptide, starts at about the same place as the leader peptide and ends after the terminator of the attenuator. Another open reading frame, called the terminator peptide, starts after the terminator and covers about half the distance to pheS, the first structural gene of the operon. The present report shows that, in fact, the only open reading frame to be translated efficiently is the leader peptide itself. The alternative leader peptide and the terminator peptide are both translated at a negligible rate.
