A phoR strain was constructed with transposon Tn10 inserted near the phoM+ locus. This was done without any prior knowledge of the phoM map location. Subsequently, we defined the phoM map position by screening tetracycline-sensitive (Tcs) derivatives for mutants which were both alkaline phosphatase negative (ther phoR phoM double mutant phenotype) and auxotrophic simultaneously. Some of these mutants were Thr-. Bacteriophage P1-mediated transductions were used to confirm that phoM and its nearby Tn10 insertion were closely linked to thr. Unexpectedly, 7 of 10 mutants analyzed also had mutations unlinked to the phoM-thr-Tn10 region. These may represent a new type of Tn10-promoted molecular event which is caused by transposition of a Tn10 end (IS10).
构建了一个phoR菌株,转座子Tn10插入到phoM⁺位点附近。这一操作是在对phoM图谱位置毫无先验了解的情况下完成的。随后,我们通过筛选对四环素敏感(Tcs)的衍生物,寻找既为碱性磷酸酶阴性(即phoR phoM双突变体表型)又同时为营养缺陷型的突变体,从而确定了phoM的图谱位置。其中一些突变体是苏氨酸缺陷型(Thr⁻)。利用噬菌体P1介导的转导来证实phoM及其附近的Tn10插入与thr紧密连锁。出乎意料的是,所分析的10个突变体中有7个还具有与phoM-thr-Tn10区域不连锁的突变。这些可能代表了一种由Tn10末端(IS10)转座引起的新型Tn10促进的分子事件。
