The aeration-dependent changes in content of various quinones in Escherichia coli were found to be unaffected by a prokaryotic translation inhibitor chloramphenicol. In addition, this process was shown to be completely intact in cells with mutated fnr, arc and appY loci. It is assumed that E. coli possesses a special system of oxygen-dependent post-transcriptional regulation of the quinone biosynthetic pathways.
研究发现,大肠杆菌中各种醌含量的需氧依赖性变化不受原核翻译抑制剂氯霉素的影响。此外,在fnr、arc和appY基因座发生突变的细胞中,这一过程显示完全正常。据推测,大肠杆菌拥有一种特殊的醌生物合成途径的氧依赖性转录后调控系统。
