The pH 6 antigen of Yersinia pestis is a virulence protein whose gene, psaA, is positively regulated at the transcriptional level by low pH, mammalian temperature, and an upstream locus, psaE. Low pH appears to be required for initial psaA transcription, although increased temperature is necessary for full expression of the gene. In addition, psaA is monocistronic and its transcript has a relatively long 5' nontranslated region.
鼠疫耶尔森菌的pH 6抗原是一种毒力蛋白,其基因psaA在转录水平受到低pH、哺乳动物体温及上游基因座psaE的正向调控。虽然该基因的完全表达需要升高温度,但低pH似乎是psaA初始转录所必需的。此外,psaA是单顺反子,其转录本有一个相对较长的5'非翻译区。
