A locus involved in zinc(II) uptake in Escherichia coli K-12 was identified through the generation of a zinc(II)-resistant mutant by transposon (Tn10dCam) mutagenesis. The mutation was located within the pitA gene, which encodes the low-affinity inorganic phosphate transport system (Pit). The pitA mutant accumulated reduced amounts of zinc(II) when exposed to 0.5-2.0 mM ZnSO(4) during growth in Luria-Bertani medium.
通过转座子(Tn10dCam)诱变产生抗锌(II)突变体,鉴定出大肠杆菌K-12中一个参与锌(II)摄取的基因座。该突变位于pitA基因内,pitA基因编码低亲和力无机磷酸盐转运系统(Pit)。在Luria-Bertani培养基中生长时,当暴露于0.5-2.0 mM ZnSO₄时,pitA突变体积累的锌(II)量减少。
