Two genes (mcrA and mcrB) from Streptomyces lavendulae that together confer resistance to mitomycin C were identified. This DNA appears to comprise a polycistronic operon with a drug-inducible leaderless mRNA. The deduced amino acid sequence of mcrA shows similarity to sequences of a special class of bacterial, plant, and animal oxygen oxidoreductases.
从淡紫色链霉菌中鉴定出两个共同赋予丝裂霉素C抗性的基因(mcrA和mcrB)。这段DNA似乎包含一个多顺反子操纵子,带有一个药物诱导型无 leader 的mRNA。mcrA推导的氨基酸序列与一类特殊的细菌、植物和动物氧氧化还原酶的序列相似。
