We have identified a gene in Vibrio cholerae (epd) which encodes an erythrose-4-phosphate dehydrogenase activity and is located immediately downstream of an iron-regulated virulence gene, irgA, and immediately upstream of a gene encoding phosphoglycerate kinase (pgk). Expression of epd in V. cholerae is not regulated by iron, nor is it required for virulence in an infant mouse model.
我们在霍乱弧菌中鉴定出一个基因(epd),它编码4-磷酸赤藓糖脱氢酶活性,位于铁调节毒力基因irgA的紧下游,以及编码磷酸甘油酸激酶(pgk)的基因的紧上游。霍乱弧菌中epd的表达不受铁的调节,在幼鼠模型中其毒力也不需要该基因。
