A functional hybrid ribosome binding site in tryptophan operon messenger RNA of Escherichia coli 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
We present evidence that repair of DNA damage induced by decay of incorporated 125I after replication of the labeled duplex of Escherichia coli requires the recA+ gene function. Furthermore, only about half of the cells survive after label segregation even when that repair function is present. Our results support the possibility that repair of 125I decay-induced lesions is asymmetric, being limited to damage initiated in only one of the two strands of the DNA duplex. 相似文献

Nucleotide sequence of the Bacillus subtilis tryptophan operon 总被引:22,自引:0,他引:22
In Bacillus subtilis, tryptophan biosynthesis is one of the most thoroughly characterized biosynthetic pathways. Recombinant DNA methodology has permitted a rapid characterization of the tryptophan (trp) gene cluster at the molecular level. In this report the nucleotide sequence of the six structural genes together with the intercistronic regions and flanking regulatory regions are presented. 相似文献

Mutants of Escherichia coli were selected in which a single mutational event had both relieved the polar effect of an early trpE mutation on trpB and simultaneously released the expression of trpB from tryptophan repression. The frequency at which these mutations appeared was roughly equal to the frequency of point mutations. In each of these mutants, the mutation increased the function of trpB and also increased the activity of some, but not all, of the other four tryptophan operon genes. Genetic analysis showed that the mutations were not located within the trp operon since in each case the parental trp operon could be recovered from the mutants. Each mutant was shown to carry a duplication of a trp operon segment translocated to a new position near the trp operon. Polarity is relieved since the trpB duplication-translocation is not in the same operon as the trpE polar mutation. The duplicated and translocated segments are fused to operons not regulated by tryptophan, so trpB function is no longer subject to tryptophan repression. The properties of the mutants indicate that the length of the duplicated segment and the position to which it is translocated differ in each of the seven mutants studied. The duplications are unstable, but the segregation pattern observed is not consistent with a single crossover model for segregation. That such duplication-translocation events generate a variety of new genetic arrangements at a frequency comparable with point mutations suggests they may play an important role in evolution. 相似文献

Metabolism of tryptophan by promastigotes of Leishmania donovani donovani was investigated in cells suspended in a simple buffer solution supplemented with glucose. Metabolites from supernatant and lysed cell pellets were analyzed by capillary gas liquid chromatography and 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, with structural confirmation by gas liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Tryptophan does not appear to serve as a carbon energy source for L. d. donovani promastigotes since parasites could survive for only short periods in buffer containing tryptophan without glucose, levels of tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediates remained unchanged in the presence of added tryptophan and label from [13C]tryptophan was not detected in any of the intermediates. Leishmania d. donovani catabolized L-tryptophan via aminotransferase and aromatic lactate dehydrogenase reactions to form one major end product, indole-3-lactic acid. The activity of aromatic lactate dehydrogenase required manganese and was NADH-dependent in these organisms that lack lactate dehydrogenase. Promastigotes taken from the mid-log stage of growth produced higher concentrations of indole-3-lactic acid than those from the stationary stage. Conservation of a similar tryptophan catabolic pathway among four Leishmania species suggests the pathway is physiologically important to the parasites themselves. 相似文献
