Evidence is presented for two natural transcription initiators positioned internally in the histidine operon of Salmonella typhimurium. They were detected using highly polar S. typhimurium his mutants as recipients for F' Escherichia coli his episomes. These intergeneric complementation tests provide a sensitive method for the detection of other initiators and of terminators. That at least part of the operator for the his operon lies distal to the transcription initiator is suggested by transduction analysis of a new highly polar mutant described in this paper.
有证据表明,在鼠伤寒沙门氏菌的组氨酸操纵子内部存在两个天然转录起始位点。利用极性很强的鼠伤寒沙门氏菌his突变体作为F'大肠杆菌his附加体的受体来检测它们。这些属间互补试验为检测其他起始位点和终止位点提供了一种灵敏的方法。本文描述的一个新的极性很强的突变体的转导分析表明,组氨酸操纵子的操纵基因至少有一部分位于转录起始位点的远端。
