We carried out PCR mutagenesis of the proU promoter of Salmonella typhimurium, in order to identify sequences important for its osmotic control. We obtained five mutations in the -35 element: two decreased the promoter strength, one increased it, and the others had no effect. However, none abolished osmotic control, suggesting that the sequence of the -35 element is not crucial for osmotic control.
我们对鼠伤寒沙门氏菌的proU启动子进行了PCR诱变,以确定对其渗透调控重要的序列。我们在-35元件中获得了五个突变:两个降低了启动子强度,一个提高了启动子强度,其他的则没有影响。然而,没有一个突变消除渗透调控,这表明-35元件的序列对于渗透调控并非至关重要。
