Streptococcus mutans F-ATPase, the major component of the acid-adaptive response of the organism, is transcriptionally upregulated at low pH. Fusions of the F-ATPase promoter to chloramphenicol acetyltransferase indicated that pH-dependent expression is still observed with a short promoter that contains a domain conserved between streptococcal ATPase operons.
变形链球菌F-ATP酶是该生物体酸适应性反应的主要成分,在低pH值下转录上调。F-ATP酶启动子与氯霉素乙酰转移酶的融合表明,使用含有链球菌ATP酶操纵子之间保守结构域的短启动子仍可观察到pH依赖性表达。
