The pncB locus of the pyridine nucleotide cycle of NAD biosynthesis in Salmonella typhimurium was examined in terms of genetic structure and regulation. The gene appears to be regulated at the level of transcription in response to the end product of the pathway, NAD. Insertions into promotor proxima

A defect in the repression of the de novo purine biosynthetic enzymes was detected among purA mutants of Salmonella typhimurium. We suggest that the defect is caused by an altered purine regulation gene (purR) which affects the response level of at least five of the de novo enzymes to repression by
Salmonella typhimurium can degrade proline for use as a carbon, nitrogen, or energy source. To determine whether a futile cycle occurs which degrades the proline accumulated by proline biosynthesis, we studied the expression and enzymatic activity of the proline utilization (put) pathway under condi
Partial homology of Salmonella typhimurium DNA to Escherichia coli DNA was demonstrated by Southern hybridization blots to exist on either side of the lac operon of E. coli but no homology was detected between S. typhimurium DNA and about 12 kb of E. coli DNA including the lac genes as well as about
