The regulation of the fadL gene, which encodes a long-chain fatty acid (LCFA) transport component, was examined by constructing a strain of Escherichia coli K-12 that bears a phi (fadL-lacZ+) operon fusion plus a wild-type fadL gene. This merodiploid strain expressed LCFA transport and beta-galactosidase activity coordinately under noninducing, inducing, and catabolite-repressing conditions. Merodiploid strains which carried a defective fadR gene expressed LCFA transport and beta-galactosidase activity constitutively. These results suggest that expression of the fadL gene is regulated by the fadR gene and is inducible at the level of transcription by LCFA.
通过构建一株带有phi(fadL-lacZ+)操纵子融合体以及野生型fadL基因的大肠杆菌K-12菌株,研究了编码长链脂肪酸(LCFA)转运成分的fadL基因的调控情况。该部分二倍体菌株在非诱导、诱导和分解代谢物阻遏条件下,协调表达LCFA转运和β-半乳糖苷酶活性。携带缺陷型fadR基因的部分二倍体菌株组成型表达LCFA转运和β-半乳糖苷酶活性。这些结果表明,fadL基因的表达受fadR基因调控,并且在转录水平上可被LCFA诱导。
