Deg. one of the Escherichia coli systems for degrading abnormal polypeptides (e.g., nonsense fragments), is also involved in the degradation of some classes of missense proteins. Both missense proteins of beta-galactosidase and temperature-sensitive phage products appear to be degraded by the Deg system. Mutations in the Deg system are indistinguishable from mutations classically called lon or capR; all map near proC, all are mucoid, defective in protein degradation, sensitive to radiomimetic agents, and defective in P1 lysogenization. All are able to propagate temperature-sensitive phage better than lon+ parental strains. Mutations that suppress the radiation sensitivity of these strains (sul) also suppress the P1 lysogenization defect, but do not affect mucoidy or the degradation defect.
大肠杆菌降解异常多肽(如无义片段)的系统之一Deg,也参与某些错义蛋白的降解。β-半乳糖苷酶的错义蛋白和温度敏感型噬菌体产物似乎都由Deg系统降解。Deg系统中的突变与经典称为lon或capR的突变无法区分;所有突变都定位在proC附近,都是黏液型的,在蛋白质降解方面有缺陷,对放射模拟剂敏感,并且在P1溶原化方面有缺陷。所有这些突变体都比lon +亲代菌株能更好地繁殖温度敏感型噬菌体。抑制这些菌株辐射敏感性的突变(sul)也抑制P1溶原化缺陷,但不影响黏液性或降解缺陷。
