Histidinol Dehydrogenase (hisD) Mutants of Salmonella typhimurium1

RESUMO
A multidisciplinary analysis has been applied to over 150 hisD mutants of Salmonella typhimurium in a study of gene-enzyme relationship. The mutants were examined for production of immunologically cross-reacting material by using antibody to purified histidinol dehydrogenase, and for genetic complementation by using a set of F′ factors bearing Escherichia coli hisD complementing mutants. Classifications as to missense, nonsense, frameshift, or deletion mutant are proposed on the basis of mutagenesis and suppression tests. For the suppression tests the mutants were examined both by a simultaneous suppression technique and by testing for response to E. coli F′ factors bearing a recessive lethal amber and a recessive lethal ochre suppressor. The data are interpreted in relation to the position of the mutations in the recombination and complementation maps and in relation to the known composition of histidinol dehydrogenase. The gene hisD appears to be single cistron for the production of a single biosynthetic polypeptide.
