An analysis of transposon-induced mutants shows that Salmonella typhimurium possesses two major isozymes of acetohydroxy acid synthase, the enzymes which mediate the first common step in isoleucine and valine biosynthesis. A third (minor) acetohydroxy acid synthase is present, but its significance in isoleucine and valine synthesis may be negligible. Mutants defective in acetohydroxy acid synthase II (ilvG::Tn10) require isoleucine, alpha-ketobutyrate, or threonine for growth, a mutant defective in acetohydroxy acid synthase I (ilvB::Tn5) is a prototroph, and a double mutant (ilvG::Tn10 ilvB::Tn5) requires isoleucine plus valine for growth.
对转座子诱导突变体的分析表明,鼠伤寒沙门氏菌拥有两种主要的乙酰羟酸合酶同工酶,这些酶介导异亮氨酸和缬氨酸生物合成的第一步共同反应。还存在第三种(次要的)乙酰羟酸合酶,但其在异亮氨酸和缬氨酸合成中的意义可能微不足道。乙酰羟酸合酶II缺陷型突变体(ilvG::Tn10)生长需要异亮氨酸、α-酮丁酸或苏氨酸,乙酰羟酸合酶I缺陷型突变体(ilvB::Tn5)是原养型,而双突变体(ilvG::Tn10 ilvB::Tn5)生长需要异亮氨酸加缬氨酸。
