A tributyltin (TBT) luxAB transcriptional fusion in Escherichia coli revealed that a TBT-activated promoter is located upstream of two cotranscribed orphan genes, ygaV and ygaP. We demonstrate that transcription from the promoter upstream of ygaVP is constitutive in a ygaVP mutant, suggesting that YgaV is an autoregulated, TBT-inducible repressor.
在大肠杆菌中构建的三丁基锡(TBT)luxAB转录融合体显示,一个TBT激活的启动子位于两个共转录的孤儿基因ygaV和ygaP的上游。我们证明,在ygaVP突变体中,ygaVP上游启动子的转录是组成型的,这表明YgaV是一种自我调节的、TBT诱导的阻遏物。
