大肠杆菌操纵子由fhuA、C、D和B基因组成,对羟基酸铁载体的利用和抗生素白霉素的吸收至关重要。我们在研究单个质粒编码转运基因错义突变的影响方面遇到了困难,因为没有找到合适的测试菌株:所有分离的fhu基因中的任何一个染色体突变(完全丧失功能)都会对操纵子中其他fhu基因的表达产生负面影响。为了在一个无极性效应的系统中分析Fhu突变蛋白,我们构建了一个质粒编码的基因盒系统,通过引入独特的限制性位点,可以精确地克隆单个Fhu基因。在染色体fhu缺失突变体中表达的fhu盒操纵子使我们能够评估突变的FhuA、FhuC、FhuD或FhuB衍生物的运输活性。此外,我们发现通过外膜的转运(通过FhuA、TonB、ExbB、D)而不是通过细胞质膜的转运(通过FhuC、D、B)是限速的。参与铁(III)羟酸盐摄取的成分的化学计量学似乎对正常功能很重要。
Abstract The Escherichia colifhu operon, composed of the fhuA, C, D, and B genes, is essential for the utilization of ferric siderophores of the hydroxamate type and for the uptake of the antibiotic albomycin. We have had difficulty studying the effects of missense mutations in individual plasmid-encoded transport genes because appropriate test strains were not found: all isolated chromosomal mutations in either one of the fhu genes (with a complete loss of function) negatively influenced the expression of other fhu genes in the operon. In order to analyze Fhu mutant proteins in a system free of polar effects, we constructed a plasmid-encoded gene cassette system by introducing unique restriction sites that allowed precise cloning of individual fhu genes. The fhu cassette operon expressed in a chromosomal fhu deletion mutant enabled us to evaluate the transport activity of mutated FhuA, FhuC, FhuD or FhuB derivatives. In addition, we found that transport across the outer membrane (via FhuA, TonB, ExbB, D) rather than transport across the cytoplasmic membrane (via FhuC, D, B) was rate limiting. The stoichiometry of the components involved in the uptake of iron(III) hydroxamates seems to be important for proper functioning.
