Regulation of enterobactin iron transport in Escherichia coli: characterization of ent::Mu d(Apr lac) operon fusions.

RESUMO
The vector Mu d(Apr lac) was utilized to construct operon fusions in the Escherichia coli enterobactin (ent) biosynthetic and transport genes. Enzyme assays indicated a 5- to 15-fold increase in the expression of beta-galactosidase when the fusion strains were grown under iron-deficient conditions. The polarity effects seen by Mu d insertions into entA, entC, and entE were consistent with a single operon, entA(CGB)E. The direction of transcription from iron-regulated promoters was determined by directional transfer of selected genetic markers after the insertion of F'ts114 lac+. Regulatory mutants were isolated in the fusion strains by the selection for constitutive expression of beta-galactosidase and the iron-regulated outer membrane proteins.
