Isoleucine-valine Requiring Mutants of Salmonella Typhimurium.
initial reports on the mutant strains of Salmonella typhimurium that T: eui r both isoleucine and valine for growth (ilva strains) were published concomitantly by GLANVILLE and DEMEREC ( 1960) and WAGNER and BERGQUIST (1960). These studies showed that although the available ilva strains could be divided into four complementation groups ( A , B , C and D ) on the basis of abortive transduction r...
متن کاملA genetic characterization of the nadC gene of Salmonella typhimurium.
The nadC gene of Salmonella encodes the pyridine biosynthetic enzyme PRPP-quinolinate phosphoribosyltransferase. Using a combination of genetic techniques, a deletion map for the Salmonella nadC gene has been generated which includes over 100 point mutants and 18 deletion intervals. The nadC alleles obtained by hydroxylamine mutagenesis include those suppressed by either amber, ochre, or UGA no...
متن کاملGenetical and Biochemical Studies of Histidine-requiring Mutants of Neurospora Crassa. 3. Correspondence between Biochemical Characteristics and Complementation Map Position of Hist-3 Mutants.
NTERALLELIC complementation has been demonstrated for mutants at variIous loci (see review by YANOFSKY and ST. LAWRENCE 1960), including the hist-3 mutants of Neurospora (WEBBER 1959, 1960; CATCHESIDE 1960). Allelic mutants are tested in various combinations or in all possible combinations of pairs in heterokaryon tests, and the interaction matrix resulting from these tests is used to develop a...
متن کاملPduL is an evolutionarily distinct phosphotransacylase involved in B12-dependent 1,2-propanediol degradation by Salmonella enterica serovar typhimurium LT2.
Salmonella enterica degrades 1,2-propanediol (1,2-PD) in a coenzyme B(12)-dependent manner. Previous enzymatic assays of crude cell extracts indicated that a phosphotransacylase (PTAC) was needed for this process, but the enzyme involved was not identified. Here, we show that the pduL gene encodes an evolutionarily distinct PTAC used for 1,2-PD degradation. Growth tests showed that pduL mutants...
متن کاملHISTIDINE MUTANTS REQUIRING ADENINE: SELECTION OF MUTANTS WITH REDUCED hisG EXPRESSION IN SALMONELLA TYPHIMURIUM H
A method is described for the selection of Salmonella typhimurium mutants with reduced levels of hisG enzyme activity. This method is based on the fact that the hisG enzyme catalyzes the consumption of ATP in the first step of histidine biosynthesis. Normally, this reaction is closely regulated, both by feedback inhibition and by repression of the operon. However, conditions can be set up that ...
