The rfaD gene product, ADP-L-glycero-D-mannoheptose-6-epimerase, is necessary for the conversion of ADP-D-glycero-D-mannoheptose to ADP-L-glycero-D-mannoheptose. The nucleotide ADP-D-glycero-D-mannoheptose accumulates in rfaD mutant strains. Two chimeric colicin E1 plasmids carrying the coding sequence of the rfaD+ locus have been selected and shown to complement the rfaD phenotype. These clones also result in an amplification of ADP-L-glycero-D-mannoheptose-6-epimerase activity.
rfaD基因产物,ADP-L-甘油-D-甘露庚糖-6-表异构酶,对于将ADP-D-甘油-D-甘露庚糖转化为ADP-L-甘油-D-甘露庚糖是必需的。核苷酸ADP-D-甘油-D-甘露庚糖在rfaD突变菌株中积累。已筛选出两个携带rfaD+基因座编码序列的嵌合大肠杆菌素E1质粒,并证明它们可互补rfaD表型。这些克隆还导致ADP-L-甘油-D-甘露庚糖-6-表异构酶活性的增加。
