In Neisseria meningitidis aspartate carbamoyltransferase (ACTase), ornithine carbamoyltransferase (OCTase), and carbamoylphosphate synthetase (CPSase) showed incomplete repression by uracil and arginine. De‐repression studies with pyrimidine and arginine mutants showed no de‐repressed levels of these enzymes.
