The ubiquinone precursor 2-octaprenyl-3-methyl-5-hydroxy-6-methoxy-1, 4-benzoquinone was isolated from two ubiquinone-deficient mutants of Escherichia coli and identified by nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry. The results of genetic analysis of the mutants indicate that each mutant carries a mutation in a gene designated ubiG which was located, by cotransduction with the nalA and glpT genes, at minute 42 on the E. coli chromosome.
从大肠杆菌的两个泛醌缺陷型突变体中分离出泛醌前体2 - 辛戊烯基 - 3 - 甲基 - 5 - 羟基 - 6 - 甲氧基 - 1,4 - 苯醌,并通过核磁共振和质谱进行鉴定。对这些突变体的遗传分析结果表明,每个突变体在一个名为ubiG的基因中携带一个突变,通过与nalA和glpT基因共转导,该基因位于大肠杆菌染色体上的42分钟处。
