The synthesis of inducible biodegradative threonine dehydratase of Escherichia coli increased several-fold in the presence of the DNA gyrase inhibitors, nalidixic acid and coumermycin. Temperature-sensitive gyrB mutants expressed higher levels of dehydratase as compared to an isogenic gyrB+ strain. Immunoblotting experiments showed increased synthesis of the dehydratase protein in the presence of gyrase inhibitors; addition of rifampicin and chloramphenicol to cells actively synthesizing enzyme preventing new enzyme production. Increased expression of dehydratase by gyrase inhibitors was accompanied by relaxation of supercoiled DNA.
在DNA促旋酶抑制剂萘啶酸和香豆霉素存在的情况下,大肠杆菌诱导型生物降解苏氨酸脱水酶的合成增加了几倍。与同基因的gyrB+菌株相比,温度敏感型gyrB突变体表达出更高水平的脱水酶。免疫印迹实验表明,在促旋酶抑制剂存在的情况下,脱水酶蛋白的合成增加;向正在积极合成酶的细胞中添加利福平和氯霉素可阻止新酶的产生。促旋酶抑制剂导致脱水酶表达增加的同时,超螺旋DNA发生了松弛。
