Popis: In a strain carrying an ilvA538 mutation, the ilvGEDA operon expression is decreased (hyperattenuated) and the activity and/or expression of isoleucyl- and valyl- tRNA synthetases is decreased. We have isolated two revertants of ilvA538 owing to mutations in the ilvH gene, whose product is acetohydroxy acid synthase III. The regulatory properties of these revertants are consistent with a dual role for threonine deaminase as an effector of the ilvGEDA operon and the isoleucyl- and valyl- tRNA synthetase structural genes.
