The mannitol operon of Escherichia coli, encoding the mannitol-specific enzyme II of the phosphotransferase system (Mt1A) and mannitol phosphate dehydrogenase (Mt1D), is here shown to contain a single additional downstream open reading frame which encodes the mannitol repressor (Mt1R). Mt1R contains 195 amino acids and has a calculated molecular weight of 21,990 and a calculated pI of 4.5. It is homologous to the product of an open reading frame (URF2D) upstream of the E. coli gapB gene but represents a novel type of transcriptional regulatory protein.
大肠杆菌的甘露醇操纵子编码磷酸转移酶系统的甘露醇特异性酶II(Mt1A)和甘露醇磷酸脱氢酶(Mt1D),本文显示该操纵子还包含一个额外的下游开放阅读框,其编码甘露醇阻遏物(Mt1R)。Mt1R含有195个氨基酸,计算分子量为21,990,计算的等电点为4.5。它与大肠杆菌gapB基因上游的一个开放阅读框(URF2D)的产物同源,但代表一种新型的转录调节蛋白。
