Popis: Two genes, mpsA and mpsB, constitute an operon in the synthesis of monapterin in E. coli. Expression of mpsA, the structural gene for dihydroneopterin triphosphate 2'-epimerase, from its native promoter, required mpsB. Cotransfonnation of mpsB excludes the possibility that the MpsB is a transactivator protein for mpsA expression.
