RESUMO
A cis-dominant mutation linked to argF, the structural gene specifying ornithine carbamoyltransferase, and affecting the control of the synthesis of this enzyme has been obtained. The level of ornithine carbamoyltransferase in this mutation is depressed and less repressible by addition of L-arginine than it is in the wild-type strain. Of 38 tetrads analyzed, resulting from a cross of a strain harboring this mutation with a strain carrying an argF- mutation, none was a tetratype or a nonparental ditype. This operator mutation helps to define a negative mode of control of the synthesis of the arginine biosynthetic enzymes, as had been suggested earlier upon the isolation of argRI- (arg80), argRII- (arg81), and argRIII- (arg82) specific regulatory mutations.
