Several lac repressor mutants have been isolated which repress beta-galactosidase synthesis in Escherichia coli up to 200-fold. They do so by binding specifically to particular symmetrical lac Oc operator variants. The mutations in the lac repressor are localized in two separate parts of the recognition helix comprising (i) residues 1 and 2 which interact with base pairs 4 and 5 of lac operator and (ii) residue 6 which recognizes operator base pair 6. Mutations of residues 1 and 2 may be combined with a mutation of residue 6. The resulting mutant protein binds specifically to an operator variant with three symmetric exchanges in base pairs 4, 5 and 6.
已经分离出几种乳糖阻遏物突变体,它们可将大肠杆菌中β-半乳糖苷酶的合成抑制高达200倍。它们通过与特定的对称乳糖Oc操纵子变体特异性结合来实现这一点。乳糖阻遏物中的突变定位在识别螺旋的两个不同部分,包括:(i)与乳糖操纵子的碱基对4和5相互作用的残基1和2,以及(ii)识别操纵子碱基对6的残基6。残基1和2的突变可与残基6的突变结合。产生的突变蛋白与在碱基对4、5和6中有三个对称交换的操纵子变体特异性结合。
