| Abstract: | Within the framework of an international Bacillus subtilis genomesequencing project, we have determined a 36-kb sequence coveringthe region between the gntZ and trnY genes. In addition to fivegenes sequenced and characterized previously, 27 putative proteincoding sequences (open reading frame; ORF) were identified.A homology search for the newly identified ORFs revealed thatsix of them had similarities to known proteins. It is notablethat new ORFs belonging to response-regulator aspartate phosphatase(Rap) and its regulator (Phr) families, and response regulatorand sensory kinase families of two-component signal transductionsystems have been identified. Furthermore, we found that some180-bp non-coding sequence, that might be an remnant of an ancientIS element, is preserved in at least five loci of the B. subtilisgenome. |
