The fadR gene of Escherichia coli encodes a protein that acts as a negative regulator (repressor) of the inducible beta-oxidation pathway. We report that the FadR protein also functions as a positive transcriptional activator of the fabA gene, which encodes the enzyme introducing the double bond of the unsaturated fatty acids of E. coli.
大肠杆菌的fadR基因编码一种蛋白质,该蛋白质作为可诱导β-氧化途径的负调控因子(阻遏物)发挥作用。我们报道,FadR蛋白还作为fabA基因的正转录激活因子发挥作用,fabA基因编码引入大肠杆菌不饱和脂肪酸双键的酶。
