lac operon fusions to DNA damage-inducible (din) loci were generated in Salmonella typhimurium LT2. Many of these din fusions were efficiently repressed by cloned Escherichia coli LexA, while others were not; all required RecA for induction. Several din fusions exhibited strong inducibility and will be useful in developing an SOS induction assay in S. typhimurium to detect genotoxins.
在鼠伤寒沙门氏菌LT2中构建了与DNA损伤诱导型(din)基因座的乳糖操纵子融合体。许多这些din融合体被克隆的大肠杆菌LexA有效抑制,而其他的则不然;所有这些融合体的诱导都需要RecA。几个din融合体表现出很强的诱导性,将有助于开发一种用于检测鼠伤寒沙门氏菌中基因毒素的SOS诱导检测方法。
