Disruption of pstS encoding the P(i)-binding protein in Escherichia coli generally leads to the constitutive expression of the pho regulon. We demonstrate that P(i)-controlled expression is restored when the activity of the P(i) transporter PitA or PitB is increased. Apparently, PstS is not an essential component of the signal transduction pathway.
编码大肠杆菌中与无机磷酸(P(i))结合蛋白的pstS基因的破坏通常会导致pho调节子的组成型表达。我们证明,当P(i)转运蛋白PitA或PitB的活性增加时,P(i)控制的表达得以恢复。显然,PstS不是信号转导途径的必需成分。
