A Planctomyces limnophilus mutant generated using the EZ-Tn5 transposome was found to possess an insertion within pckA, encoding phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase. Disruption of pckA expression and elimination of enzymatic activity resulted in poor growth in glucose-free medium, demonstrating a gluconeogenic role for pckA in P. limnophilus.
使用 EZ-Tn5 转座酶生成的 Planctomyces limnophilus 突变体被发现其 pckA 内发生插入,该基因编码磷酸烯醇丙酮酸羧激酶。pckA 表达的破坏和酶活性的消除导致在无葡萄糖培养基中生长不良,表明 pckA 在 P. limnophilus 中具有糖异生作用。
