The F(1)F(o)-ATP synthase plays an important role in a number of vital cellular processes in plants, animals, and microorganisms. In this study, we constructed a DeltaatpD mutant of Mycobacterium smegmatis and demonstrated that atpD encoding the beta subunit of the F(1)F(o)-ATP synthase is an essential gene in M. smegmatis during growth on nonfermentable and fermentable carbon sources.
F(1)F(o)-ATP合酶在植物、动物和微生物的许多重要细胞过程中发挥着重要作用。在本研究中,我们构建了耻垢分枝杆菌的DeltaatpD突变体,并证明编码F(1)F(o)-ATP合酶β亚基的atpD是耻垢分枝杆菌在非发酵和发酵碳源上生长期间的必需基因。
