The damX gene product of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium is a protein located in the inner membrane. DamX migrates as a 70-kDa protein in SDS-PAGE even though the predicted protein size is 46 kDa. Synthesis of DamX protein occurs in both exponential- and stationary-phase cultures. Disruption of damX causes severe sensitivity to bile. Lack of the outer membrane protein AsmA suppresses bile sensitivity in Salmonella damX mutants.
肠沙门氏菌血清型鼠伤寒的 damX 基因产物是一种位于内膜的蛋白质。DamX 以 70 kDa 的蛋白形式在 SDS-PAGE 中迁移,尽管预测的蛋白大小为 46 kDa。DamX 蛋白的合成发生在指数和静止期培养物中。damX 的缺失导致对胆盐的严重敏感性。外膜蛋白 AsmA 的缺失抑制了沙门氏菌 damX 突变体的胆盐敏感性。
