Transcription of cobalamin (cob) biosynthetic genes in Salmonella typhimurium is repressed by cobalamin and by molecular oxygen. These genes seem to be subject to catabolite repression, and they are maximally expressed under conditions of anaerobic respiration of glycerol-fumarate. A 215-fold increase in the expression of cob genes occurs when S. typhimurium shifts from aerobic growth on glucose to anaerobic respiration of glycerol-fumarate under strictly anoxic growth conditions. Exogenous cyclic AMP substantially stimulates the transcription of cob-lac fusions during aerobic growth. However, cyclic AMP is not absolutely required for the expression of the pathway, nor does it mediate the aerobic control. Cobalamin biosynthesis is not seen under aerobic growth conditions, even when transcription is stimulated by the addition of cyclic AMP. Hence, additional control mechanisms triggered by the presence of molecular oxygen must operate independently from transcription effects on the cob operons.
鼠伤寒沙门氏菌中钴胺素(cob)生物合成基因的转录受到钴胺素和分子氧的抑制。这些基因似乎受到分解代谢物阻遏,并且在甘油-富马酸酯的厌氧呼吸条件下表达量最高。当鼠伤寒沙门氏菌在严格缺氧的生长条件下从以葡萄糖进行有氧生长转变为以甘油-富马酸酯进行厌氧呼吸时,cob基因的表达增加了215倍。外源性环腺苷酸在有氧生长期间显著刺激cob-lac融合体的转录。然而,环腺苷酸对于该途径的表达并非绝对必需,它也不介导有氧调控。即使通过添加环腺苷酸刺激转录,在有氧生长条件下也看不到钴胺素的生物合成。因此,由分子氧的存在触发的额外调控机制必须独立于对cob操纵子的转录效应发挥作用。
