End product repression

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The end product repression is a form of gene regulation in bacteria . The end product of a reaction chain ensures that the enzymes that are needed for its synthesis are no longer formed in protein biosynthesis . An inactive repressor can be converted into its active form by the end product. This repressor then ensures that the RNA polymerase can no longer carry out the transcription .
