Crude extracts of Escherichia coli K-12 were found to bind DNA restriction fragments containing ilvGp1. Our analysis using a series of restriction fragments and a BamHI linker mutation indicate that a factor binds to ilvGp1 or adjacent to it. Analysis with mutant strains of E. coli K-12 and purified IHF indicate that IHF binds to ilvGp1. Furthermore, both analysis in vivo and in vitro indicate that IHF precludes transcription from ilvGp1.
研究发现大肠杆菌K-12的粗提物能结合含有ilvGp1的DNA限制片段。我们使用一系列限制片段和一个BamHI接头突变进行的分析表明,有一种因子能结合到ilvGp1或其附近。对大肠杆菌K-12突变菌株和纯化的整合宿主因子(IHF)进行的分析表明,IHF能结合到ilvGp1上。此外,体内和体外分析均表明,IHF会阻止ilvGp1的转录。
