Twenty-seven independent pyridoxineless mutants belonging to genetic linkage group I were assayed for glycolaldehyde dehydrogenase. Some mutants lacked enzyme activity entirely, and others showed activity ranging from very low to wild-type levels. Reversion to pyridoxine independence usually had no effect upon this activity. Transfer of the pyridoxine genes to a common host that had wild-type levels of enzyme activity made the recipient pyridoxineless without affecting the activity. These results negate the idea of an obligatory role for glycolaldehyde dehydrogenase in pyridoxine biosynthesis.
对属于遗传连锁群I的27个独立的无维生素B6突变体进行了乙醇醛脱氢酶检测。一些突变体完全缺乏酶活性,而另一些突变体的活性则从极低到野生型水平不等。回复到不依赖维生素B6的状态通常对这种活性没有影响。将维生素B6基因转移到具有野生型酶活性水平的共同宿主中,使受体成为无维生素B6的状态,而不影响活性。这些结果否定了乙醇醛脱氢酶在维生素B6生物合成中起必不可少作用的观点。
