Question

If a cell is simultaneously starved for most amino acids, including tryptophan, this general starvation affects the trp operon in an unique way. Because the ribosome stalls early in the translation of the leader peptide, region 1 in the mRNA 5′ UTR is able to pair with region 2. What effect will this have on the activity of the trp operon?

Answer 1

Hopefully this helps! If it doesn't, let me know!

Step-by-step explanation:

It will result in reduced expression of the structural genes compared to when the cell is starved only for tryptophan.
