The roles of the first base of the Pribnow box in positive regulation of the ompC and ompF genes were studied. G- and A-to-T substitutions of the first base of the ompC and ompF Pribnow boxes, respectively, resulted in a high-level functioning of the promoters in the ompR background. The level was further enhanced significantly in the ompR+ background. The effects of other substitutions were also studied. Based on these observations, the roles of the Pribnow box in the positive regulation are discussed.
研究了Pribnow框第一个碱基在ompC和ompF基因正调控中的作用。分别对ompC和ompF的Pribnow框第一个碱基进行G到A以及A到T的替换,导致在ompR背景下启动子的高水平功能。在ompR+背景下,该水平进一步显著提高。还研究了其他替换的影响。基于这些观察结果,讨论了Pribnow框在正调控中的作用。
