We report here the isolation of an extragenic suppressor of a promoter mutation in the lactose operon of Escherichia coli. Genetic data have indicated that the suppressor of the P(-) mutation maps in the structural gene for the transcription factor catabolite activator protein. Biochemical studies suggest that the mutant molecules of catabolite activator protein are altered in such a way that they are activated by 3':5'-cyclic GMP in addition to their normal effector, 3':5'-cyclic AMP.
我们在此报告从大肠杆菌乳糖操纵子的启动子突变中分离出一种基因外抑制子。遗传数据表明,P(-)突变的抑制子定位于转录因子分解代谢物激活蛋白的结构基因中。生化研究表明,分解代谢物激活蛋白的突变分子发生了改变,使得它们除了能被其正常效应物3':5'-环磷酸腺苷激活外,还能被3':5'-环磷酸鸟苷激活。
