A general, genetic technique for determining the direction of transcription for bacterial genes is presented. By comparing the phenotype of Mu-Mud1 dilysogens with the phenotype of deletion-containing derivatives, the direction of transcription for the gene containing Mud1 can be unambiguously determined. This method can generate a series of strains containing deletions with predetermined endpoints, and strains with duplications of the region containing the Mud1 insertion. In Escherichia coli, the glnA and glnG genes are transcribed in the same direction.
本文介绍了一种用于确定细菌基因转录方向的通用遗传学技术。通过比较Mu-Mud1双溶原菌的表型与含缺失衍生物的表型,可以明确确定含有Mud1的基因的转录方向。该方法可以产生一系列含有具有预定端点的缺失的菌株,以及含有Mud1插入区域重复的菌株。在大肠杆菌中,glnA和glnG基因以相同方向转录。
