Assay of the first enzyme unique to methionine biosynthesis, homoserine-O-transsuccinylase, in metJ and metK regulatory mutants of Salmonella typhimurium showed that synthesis of the enzyme was derepressed seven- and fourfold, respectively. The possibility of noncoordinate regulation of the methionine enzymes is discussed. In metA feedback-resistant mutants, the enzyme activity can be inhibited in vitro by 10 mmS-adenosylmethionine but not by 10 mm l-methionine; hence, the synergistic inhibition found for the wild-type enzyme is not effective in these latter mutants.
对鼠伤寒沙门氏菌metJ和metK调控突变体中蛋氨酸生物合成特有的第一种酶——高丝氨酸-O-转琥珀酰酶的测定表明,该酶的合成分别被解除阻遏7倍和4倍。讨论了蛋氨酸酶非协同调节的可能性。在metA反馈抗性突变体中,该酶活性在体外可被10 mM S-腺苷甲硫氨酸抑制,但不能被10 mM L-蛋氨酸抑制;因此,野生型酶的协同抑制在这些突变体中无效。
