Cellular production of tryptophan is metabolically expensive and tightly regulated. The small zinc binding Anti-TRAP protein (AT), which is the product of the gene, is upregulated in response to accumulating levels of uncharged tRNA through a T-box antitermination mechanism. AT binds to the undecameric axially symmetric ring-shaped protein TRAP ( RNA Binding Attenuation Protein), thereby preventing it from binding to the leader RNA.

Consequently, there is an urgent need to develop a vaccine to protect against NTHi infection. A multi-component vaccine will be desirable to avoid emergence of strains expressing modified proteins allowing vaccine escape.

: This is a study on a sport-based intervention, with a focus on physical activity, social relations, and learning, to promote health and well-being in the workplace lived space. Lived space is situated and associated with social and cultural conventions which affect the quality of the perceived space at work. The aim of the paper is to elucidate the participant's experiences of the intervention and how health and well-being were affected.
