The deoC-deoA intercistronic region from Escherichia coli has been characterized by DNA and protein sequencing. This region consists of 129 bp and includes a regulatory element, which has also been found in other operons containing large intercistronic regions. Our results suggest that the regulatory element functions as a transcriptional attenuator, and therefore it seems likely that the primary role of this element is to effect differential expression of operon genes. Furthermore, we have unambiguously shown that the initiation codon for the deoA gene is UUG.
来自大肠杆菌的deoC-deoA基因间区域已通过DNA和蛋白质测序进行了表征。该区域由129个碱基对组成,包含一个调控元件,在其他含有大基因间区域的操纵子中也发现了该元件。我们的结果表明,该调控元件作为转录衰减子发挥作用,因此该元件的主要作用似乎是影响操纵子基因的差异表达。此外,我们已经明确表明,deoA基因的起始密码子是UUG。
