摘要
The suhB gene is located at 55 min on the Escherichia coli chromosome and encodes a protein of 268 amino acids. Mutant alleles of suhB have been isolated as extragenic suppressors for the protein secretion mutation (secY24), the heat shock response mutation (rpoH15), and the DNA synthesis mutation (dnaB121) (K. Shiba, K. Ito, and T. Yura, J. Bacteriol. 160:696-701, 1984; R. Yano, H, Nagai, K. Shiba, and T, Yura, J, Bacteriol. 172:2124-2130, 1990; S. Chang, D. Ng, L. Baird, and C. Georgopoulos, J. Biol. Chem. 266:3654-3660, 1991). These mutant alleles of suhB cause cold-sensitive cell growth, indicating that the suhB gene is essential at low temperatures. Little work has been done, however, to elucidate the role of the product of suhB in a normal cell and the suppression mechanisms of the suhB mutations in the aforementioned mutants. The sequence similarity shared between the suhB gene product and mammalian inositol monophosphatase has prompted us to test the inositol monophosphatase activity of the suhB gene product. We report here that the purified SuhB protein showed inositol monophosphatase activity, The kinetic parameters of SuhB inositol monophosphatase (K-m = 0.071 mM; V-max = 12.3 mu mol/min per mg) are similar to those of mammalian inositol monophosphatase. The ssyA3 and suhB2 mutations, which were isolated as extragenic suppressors for secY24 and rpoH15, respectively, had a DNA insertion at the 5' proximal region of the suhB gene, and the amount of SuhB protein within mutant cells decreased. The possible role of suhB in E. coli is discussed.
