Genes encoding high-affinity folate- and thiamine-binding proteins (FolT, ThiT) were identified in the Lactobacillus casei genome, expressed in Lactococcus lactis, and functionally characterized. Similar genes occur in many Firmicutes, sometimes next to folate or thiamine salvage genes. Most thiT genes are preceded by a thiamine riboswitch.
在干酪乳杆菌基因组中鉴定出编码高亲和力叶酸和硫胺素结合蛋白(FolT、ThiT)的基因,这些基因在乳酸乳球菌中表达并进行了功能表征。许多厚壁菌门细菌中都存在类似基因,有时与叶酸或硫胺素补救基因相邻。大多数thiT基因之前都有一个硫胺素核糖开关。
