Cells of Escherichia coli which enter a phase of starvation for Pi induce the synthesis of the nucleotide guanosine 3',5'-bispyrophosphate (ppGpp). This induction is relA independent but depends on the spoT gene product. A mutant unable to produce ppGpp is impaired in the expression of two genes which belong to the pho regulon, a defect which is dependent on the product of spoT. We suggest that ppGpp is essential for the proper induction of the genes which belong to the pho regulon.
进入磷饥饿阶段的大肠杆菌细胞会诱导合成核苷酸鸟苷 3',5'-双焦磷酸(ppGpp)。这种诱导不依赖于relA,但依赖于spoT基因产物。无法产生ppGpp的突变体在属于pho调节子的两个基因的表达上存在缺陷,这种缺陷依赖于spoT的产物。我们认为ppGpp对于正确诱导属于pho调节子的基因至关重要。
