1-Thioglycerol (TG) stimulates the synthesis of porphyrin in aerobically growing Escherichia coli. Here the levels of delta-aminolevulinate biosynthetic enzymes in untreated and TG-treated E. coli THU and PUC2 (a mutant of THU which overproduces porphyrins in the presence of thiols) cells were determined. TG treatment elevated the activity of glutamyl-tRNA reductase in both strains. The increased activity was not caused by activation of preexisting enzymes by thiols or by oxidizing agents but was dependent on new protein synthesis.
1-硫代甘油(TG)刺激需氧生长的大肠杆菌中卟啉的合成。在此测定了未处理和经TG处理的大肠杆菌THU和PUC2(THU的一个突变体,在硫醇存在下过量产生卟啉)细胞中δ-氨基乙酰丙酸生物合成酶的水平。TG处理提高了两种菌株中谷氨酰-tRNA还原酶的活性。活性增加并非由硫醇或氧化剂对现有酶的激活所致,而是依赖于新的蛋白质合成。
