Mutants that require exogenous 3',5'-cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) for exponential growth were isolated from strains deficient in adenyl cyclase. Studies of one strain showed that cAMP is not incorporated into macromolecules; instead, it seems to have a regulatory function, i.e., in media lacking cAMP, cells form ribonucleic acid (RNA) and protein at linear rather than exponential rates. The exact lesion is not known; ribosomes, messenger RNA, and the beta and beta' subunits of RNA polymerase continue to be made in absence of added cAMP.
从腺苷酸环化酶缺陷型菌株中分离出了在指数生长期需要外源性3',5'-环磷酸腺苷(cAMP)的突变体。对其中一个菌株的研究表明,cAMP不会掺入大分子中;相反,它似乎具有调节功能,即在缺乏cAMP的培养基中,细胞以线性而非指数速率合成核糖核酸(RNA)和蛋白质。确切的损伤尚不清楚;在不添加cAMP的情况下,核糖体、信使RNA以及RNA聚合酶的β和β'亚基仍会继续合成。
