A new type of auxotrophic mutant of Salmonella typhimurium has been isolated that is defective in the synthesis of the 3-deoxy-D-mannooctulosonate (ketodeoxyoctonate) region of the lipopolysaccharide and requires D-arabinose-5-phosphate for growth. Genetic and biochemical evidence indicated that the mutant defect was due to an altered ketodeoxyoctonate-8-phosphate synthetase with an apparent K(m) for D-arabinose-5-phosphate 35-fold higher than that of the parental enzyme. As a result of this enzymatic lesion, the mutant strain was dependent on exogenous D-arabinose-5-phosphate both for growth and for synthesis of a complete lipopolysaccharide.
已分离出一种新型的鼠伤寒沙门氏菌营养缺陷型突变体,该突变体在脂多糖的3-脱氧-D-甘露辛酮酸(酮脱氧辛酮酸)区域合成方面存在缺陷,并且生长需要D-阿拉伯糖-5-磷酸。遗传和生化证据表明,该突变体的缺陷是由于酮脱氧辛酮酸-8-磷酸合成酶发生改变,其对D-阿拉伯糖-5-磷酸的表观K(m)值比亲本酶高35倍。由于这种酶损伤,突变菌株在生长和合成完整脂多糖方面都依赖于外源性D-阿拉伯糖-5-磷酸。
