The relationship of valine resistance to the expression of the ilvGEDA operon of E. coli K-12 was determined. DNA sequence and in vivo protein analyses indicate that, in wild-type E. coli K-12, there is a frameshift site within the gene (ilvG; which codes for acetohydroxy acid synthase) for valine resistance. The ilvG+2096 (formerly designated ilv02096) mutation displaces this frameshift site, resulting in the expression of ilvG and the relief to transcriptional polarity on the distal genes of this operon. Thus, the ilv0 mutation, which concomitantly confers valine resistance and increased expression of the ilvEDA genes, is the reversion of a polar site within the 1st structural gene of the ilvGEDA operon.
