  • Title: Insensitivity of D-amino acid dehydrogenase synthesis to catabolic repression in dadR mutants of Salmonella typhimurium.
    Author: Wild J, Kłopotowski T.
    Journal: Mol Gen Genet; 1975; 136(1):63-73. PubMed ID: 16094967.
    Abstract:
    It has been found that synthesis of D-amino acid dehydrogenase in Salmonella typhimurium is stimulated by cyclic AMP and crp gene product. This indicates that catabolic control of the dehydrogenase resembles other bacterial systems of catabolic repression. We have isolated S. typhimurium mutants, dadR, which are resistant to L-methionine-interference with D-histidine utilization and are able to utilize D-tryptophan as a precursor of L-tryptophan. Mapping data indicate that the dadR locus is closely linked to dadA coding for the structure of D-amino acid dehydrogenase. The synthesis of the dehydrogenase in dadR mutants is completely insensitive to the repression by glucose, but remains inducible by L-alanine. We conclude thereof that dadR mutants have changes in the promoter region which increase the expression of the dadA gene in the presence of glucose metabolism. A likely possibility that induction of the dad operon by alanine might be under positive control is discussed.
