We isolated 26 suppressor mutations that allowed growth of a delta pdxH::omega null mutant in the absence of pyridoxal. Each suppressor mapped to pdxJ, and the eight suppressors sequenced contained the same glycine-to-serine change in the PdxJ polypeptide. This bypass suppression suggests that PdxJ may participate in formation of the pyridine ring of pyridoxine 5'-phosphate.
我们分离出了26个抑制突变,这些突变使得ΔpdxH::omega缺失突变体在没有吡哆醛的情况下能够生长。每个抑制突变都定位到pdxJ,并且测序的8个抑制突变在PdxJ多肽中包含相同的甘氨酸到丝氨酸的变化。这种旁路抑制表明PdxJ可能参与磷酸吡哆醛吡啶环的形成。
