Transcription of the metA gene of Escherichia coli K-12 is from a promoter which is under methionine control and is located next to a region which has an extensive sequence homology with the operator regions of the metBL and metF genes. However, in the metA gene there is a second transcription start point which is located 74 base pairs upstream and which is independent of the intracellular methionine concentration.
大肠杆菌K-12的metA基因转录自一个受甲硫氨酸调控的启动子,该启动子位于一个与metBL和metF基因的操纵区具有广泛序列同源性的区域附近。然而,在metA基因中还有第二个转录起始点,它位于上游74个碱基对处,且与细胞内甲硫氨酸浓度无关。
