ylxL was found to be the last gene of the fla/che operon in Bacillus subtilis and is cotranscribed with the gene for the flagellum-specific alternate sigma factor, sigma(D). The ylxL gene was disrupted by insertional mutagenesis, and the resultant mutant strain was found to be compromised for sigma(D)-dependent functions.
ylxL被发现是枯草芽孢杆菌中fla/che操纵子的最后一个基因,并且与鞭毛特异性交替sigma因子sigma(D)的基因共转录。通过插入诱变破坏了ylxL基因,发现所得突变菌株在依赖sigma(D)的功能方面存在缺陷。
