In E. coli, the five contiguoustrp genes encode enzymes that sythesize the amino acid tryptophan. These genes are expressed efficiently only when tryptophan is limiting. The genes are controlled by a repressor, just as the lac genes are, although in this case, it is the absence of its ligand (tryptophan) that relieves repression, match trp genes to their gene product,
