Regulation of Escherichia coli pyrBI Gene Expression in Pseudomonas fluorescens
Description:
Pseudomonas fluorescens does not appear to regulate the enzymes of de novo
pyrimidine biosynthesis at the level of gene expression. Little or no apparent repression of pyr gene expression is observed upon addition of exogenous pyrimidines to the growth medium. The Escherichia coli pyrBI genes for aspartate transcarbamoylase (ATCase) were sized down and cloned into the broad host range plasmid, pKT230. Upon introduction into a P.fluorescenspyrB mutant strain, ATCase showed repression in response…
