A novel genetic change leading to increased activity of 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6PGD) in E. coli has been observed. The mutation is a deletion of approximately 0.4 kilobase pairs occurring between the structural gene of 6PGD (gnd) and one copy of an insertion element (IS5) found normally in E. coli K12 a few hundred base pairs upstream (counterclockwise) from gnd at 44 minutes on the conventional genetic map. The deletion is associated with a threefold higher activity of 6PGD and a 57% increase in the maximum growth rate when cells are grown in gluconate.
在大肠杆菌中观察到一种导致6-磷酸葡萄糖酸脱氢酶(6PGD)活性增加的新型基因变化。该突变是在6PGD(gnd)结构基因与通常在大肠杆菌K12中发现的一个插入元件(IS5)拷贝之间发生的约0.4千碱基对的缺失,该插入元件在传统遗传图谱上位于gnd上游(逆时针方向)几百个碱基对处,在44分钟位置。当细胞在葡萄糖酸盐中生长时,这种缺失与6PGD活性高三倍以及最大生长速率提高57%相关。
