Mutants in three genes affecting two Mg2+ transport systems are described. System I, for which Co2+, Mn2+, and Mg2+ are substrates, is inactive in corA mutants corB mutants express system I after growth on high (10 mM) Mg2+ but not low (0.1 mM) Mg2+. Both corA and corB mutants are resistant to Co2+ or Mn2+. corA mutants are sensitive to CA2+. Transport system II is specific for Mg2+ and is repressed by growth on 10 mM Mg2+. mgt mutations inactivate system II. Growth on mgt mutants in normal except on very low (1 muM) concentrations of Mg2+, corA mgt strains exhibit no high-affinity, energy-dependent transport of Mg2+ and require 10 mM Mg2+ for optimal growth. The three genes are not linked. The corA locus is contransducible with ilv at 75 min, corB is cotransducible with pyrB at 85 min, and mgt is cotransducible with malB and mel at 81 min on the genetic map.
本文描述了影响两种镁离子转运系统的三个基因的突变体。系统I以钴离子、锰离子和镁离子作为底物,在corA突变体中无活性;corB突变体在高镁(10 mM)环境中生长后可表达系统I,但在低镁(0.1 mM)环境中则不能。corA和corB突变体均对钴离子或锰离子具有抗性。corA突变体对钙离子敏感。转运系统II对镁离子具有特异性,并在10 mM镁离子环境中生长时受到抑制。mgt突变会使系统II失活。mgt突变体在正常条件下生长,除非镁离子浓度极低(1 μM),corA mgt菌株不具备高亲和力、能量依赖性的镁离子转运能力,且需要10 mM镁离子才能实现最佳生长。这三个基因不连锁。在遗传图谱上,corA位点与ilv在75分钟时共转导,corB与pyrB在85分钟时共转导,mgt与malB和mel在81分钟时共转导。
