摘要：

Azotobacter vinelandii strain UA22 was produced by pTn5luxAB mutagenesis, such that the promoterless luxAB genes were transcribed in an iron-repressible manner. Tn5luxAB was localized to a fragment of chromosomal DNA encoding the thrS, infC, rpmI, rplT, pheS and pheT genes, with Tn5 inserted in the 3'-end of pheS. The isolation of this mutation in an essential gene was possible because of polyploidy in Azotobacter, such that strain UA22 carried both wild-type and mutant alleles of pheS. Phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase activity and pheS::luxAB reporter activity was partially repressed under iron-sufficient conditions and fully derepressed under iron-limited conditions. The ferric uptake regulator (Fur) bound to a DNA sequence immediately upstream of luxAB, within the pheS gene, but pheS::luxAB reporter activity was not affected by phenylalanine availability. This suggests there is novel regulation of pheST in A. vinelandii by iron availability. (C) 2002 Federation of European Microbiological Societies. Published by Elsevier Science B.V.
