Strains of escherichia coli were constructed in which the lacZ gene is fused to cysB, the positive regulator gene of the cysteine regulon. The fusion strains were used to study the regulation of the cysB gene by assaying the fused lacZ gene product. The introduction of a cysB allele, either on a plasmid or on an episome to the fusion strains, resulted in the decrease of beta-galactosidase activity. This implies that the cysB gene expression is autoregulated by its own product. The direction of cysB gene transcription was determined to be clockwise.
构建了大肠杆菌菌株,其中lacZ基因与半胱氨酸调节子的正调控基因cysB融合。通过检测融合的lacZ基因产物,利用这些融合菌株来研究cysB基因的调控。将cysB等位基因(无论是在质粒上还是在附加体上)导入融合菌株,导致β-半乳糖苷酶活性降低。这意味着cysB基因的表达受其自身产物的自动调节。确定cysB基因转录方向为顺时针。
