Recombinant DNA techniques were used to isolate the Rickettsia prowazekii citrate synthase gene on the plasmid vector pBR322 by functional complementation of a gltA mutation of Escherichia coli K-12. Analysis of citrate synthase activity in crude extracts revealed that the enzyme expressed in E. coli retains the regulatory control mechanisms characteristic of the rickettsial enzyme.
通过对大肠杆菌K-12的gltA突变进行功能互补,利用重组DNA技术在质粒载体pBR322上分离出普氏立克次体柠檬酸合酶基因。对粗提取物中柠檬酸合酶活性的分析表明,在大肠杆菌中表达的该酶保留了立克次体酶特有的调控机制。
