Annual review of biochemistry, 1986•annualreviews.orgThe transcriptional apparatus of the cell utilizes both simple and sophisticated mechanisms
to control mRNA biosynthesis, and events related to termination of transcription at the 3'ends
of genes or gene clusters are of major importance. The efficiency of termination, and its
modulation by attenuator sites, anti termination factors, and processing/modification signals,
can have profound effects on gene expression. The vast prokaryotic literature of the past 15
