Function

Tryptophan RNA-binding attenuation protein (TRAP) or transcription attenuation protein MtrB is a tryptophan-activated RNA-binding protein which regulates the expression of the tryptophan biosynthesis genes. Down regulation of Trp biosynthesis is observed upon binding of 11 tryptophan molecules to TRAP^[1].
