In Salmonella typhimurium the structural genes of the enzymes responsible for histidine utilization (hut) are clustered in two adjacent operons. A single repressor regulates both operons. The repressor itself is a member of one of the hut operons and, thus, regulates its own synthesis. We have assayed the hut repressor by its ability to bind radioactive DNA to nitrocellulose filters. The binding is specific for DNA bearing the hut operons, and the binding is abolished by the inducer, urocanate. As a member of one of the hut operons, the repressor is inducible, subject to catabolite repression, and affected by a promoter mutation.
在鼠伤寒沙门氏菌中,负责组氨酸利用的酶的结构基因(hut)聚集在两个相邻的操纵子中。单个阻遏物调节这两个操纵子。该阻遏物本身是其中一个hut操纵子的成员,因此调节其自身的合成。我们通过其将放射性DNA结合到硝酸纤维素滤膜上的能力来检测hut阻遏物。这种结合对携带hut操纵子的DNA具有特异性,并且这种结合会被诱导物尿刊酸消除。作为其中一个hut操纵子的成员,该阻遏物是可诱导的,受到分解代谢物阻遏的影响,并受启动子突变的影响。
