The gene for the nicotinamide riboside (NR) transporter (pnuC) was identified in Haemophilus influenzae. A pnuC mutant had only residual NR uptake and could survive in vitro with high concentrations of NR, but could not survive in vivo. PnuC may represent a target for the development of inhibitors for preventing H. influenzae disease.
在流感嗜血杆菌中鉴定出了烟酰胺核糖(NR)转运蛋白(pnuC)的基因。一个pnuC突变体仅具有残余的NR摄取能力,并且在高浓度NR的情况下能够在体外存活,但在体内无法存活。PnuC可能是开发预防流感嗜血杆菌疾病抑制剂的一个靶点。
