A transcriptional fusion of katF to the lacZ gene was expressed at increasingly higher levels throughout the exponential phase, but a translational fusion was expressed at low levels during exponential-phase growth and was induced 160-fold during the transition to stationary phase, implicating a posttranscriptional mechanism in the regulation of KatF synthesis. Mutational analyses suggested that the initiation codon of katF is the second ATG in the previously identified open reading frame.
katF与lacZ基因的转录融合在整个指数生长期表达水平逐渐升高,但翻译融合在指数生长期生长时表达水平较低,而在向稳定期转变过程中被诱导160倍,这表明KatF合成的调控存在转录后机制。突变分析表明,katF的起始密码子是先前鉴定的开放阅读框中的第二个ATG。
