The smeT-smeDEF region and the smeT gene, which encodes the smeDEF repressor, are highly polymorphic. Few changes in smeT might be associated with smeDEF overexpression. The results obtained with cellular extracts suggest that mutant SmeT proteins cannot bind to the operator and that other transcription factors besides SmeT are involved in the regulation of smeDEF expression.
编码smeDEF阻遏物的smeT - smeDEF区域和smeT基因具有高度多态性。smeT的微小变化可能与smeDEF的过表达有关。细胞提取物实验结果表明,突变的SmeT蛋白无法与操纵基因结合,并且除SmeT之外的其他转录因子也参与了smeDEF表达的调控。
