This study investigated the transcriptomic response of D39 to methionine. Transcriptome comparison of the D39 wild-type grown in chemically defined medium with 0-10 mM methionine revealed the elevated expression of various genes/operons involved in methionine synthesis and transport (, , , , , , , , , and ). Furthermore, -galactosidase assays and quantitative RT-PCR studies demonstrated that the transcriptional regulator, CmhR (SPD-0588), acts as a transcriptional activator of the , , , , and genes. A putative regulatory site of CmhR was identified in the promoter region of CmhR-regulated genes and this CmhR site was further confirmed by promoter mutational experiments.
本研究探究了 D39 对蛋氨酸的转录组反应。将野生型 D39 在含有 0-10mM 蛋氨酸的化学定义培养基中培养,进行转录组比较,结果显示各种参与蛋氨酸合成和运输的基因/操纵子的表达水平升高(,,,,,,,,, 和 )。此外,β-半乳糖苷酶测定和定量 RT-PCR 研究表明,转录调节因子 CmhR(SPD-0588)作为,,,, 和 基因的转录激活剂发挥作用。在 CmhR 调节基因的启动子区域鉴定到一个假定的 CmhR 调节位点,通过启动子突变实验进一步证实了该 CmhR 位点。
