A three-gene operon, named yctCBA (Yersinia citrate transporter), induced by citrate and repressed by glucose was identified from a previously selected in vivo-induced (ivi) clone in the fish pathogen Yersinia ruckeri. Interestingly, despite being an ivi clone, the drastic growth reduction of the yctC mutant in the presence of citrate, and the relatively high content of this compound in rainbow trout serum, the operon was not required for virulence.
一个三基因操纵子,命名为 yctCBA(柠檬酸转运蛋白),受柠檬酸诱导,受葡萄糖抑制,从鱼类病原体鲁氏耶尔森氏菌中先前选择的体内诱导(ivi)克隆中鉴定出来。有趣的是,尽管是一个 ivi 克隆,但 yctC 突变体在柠檬酸存在下的生长严重减少,以及虹鳟血清中这种化合物的相对高含量,该操纵子对于毒力不是必需的。
