Nucleotide sequence of the phoM region of Escherichia coli: four open reading frames may constitute an operon. 总被引:17,自引:10,他引:17 下载免费PDF全文
The phoM gene is one of the positive regulatory genes for the phosphate regulon of Escherichia coli. We analyzed the nucleotide sequence of a 4.7-kilobase chromosomal DNA segment that encompasses the phoM gene and its flanking regions. Four open reading frames (ORFs) were identified in the order ORF1-ORF2-ORF3 (phoM)-ORF4-dye clockwise on the standard E. coli genetic map. Since these ORFs are preceded by a putative promotor sequence upstream of ORF1 and followed by a putative terminator distal to ORF4, they seem to constitute an operon. The 157-amino-acid ORF1 protein contains highly hydrophobic amino acids in the amino-terminal portion, which is a characteristic of a signal peptide. The 229-amino-acid ORF2 protein is highly homologous to the PhoB protein, a positive regulatory protein for the phosphate regulon. The ORF3 (phoM gene) protein contains two stretches of highly hydrophobic residues in the amino-terminal and central regions and, therefore, may be a membrane protein. The 450-amino-acid ORF4 protein contains long hydrophobic regions and is likely to be a membrane protein. 相似文献

DNA encompassing the structural genes of an Escherichia coli [NiFe] hydrogenase has been cloned and sequenced. The genes were identified as those encoding the large and small subunits of hydrogenase isozyme 1 based on NH2-terminal sequences of purified subunits (kindly provided by K. Francis and K. T. Shanmugam). The structural genes formed part of a putative operon that contained four additional open reading frames. We have designated the operon hya and the six open reading frames hyaA through F. hyaA and hyaB encode the small and large structural subunits, respectively. The nucleotide-derived amino acid sequence of hyaC has a calculated molecular mass of 27.6 kilodaltons, contains 20% aromatic residues, and has four potential membrane-spanning regions. Open reading frames hyaD through F could encode polypeptides of 21.5, 14.9, and 31.5 kilodaltons, respectively. These putative peptides have no homology to other reported protein sequences, and their functions are unknown. 相似文献

Operon fusions in the nitrate reductase operon and study of the control gene nir R in Escherichia coli 总被引:24,自引:0,他引:24

Summary Strains carrying operon fusions between the promotor of the chl I gene and the lac structural genes were constructed. From these strains in which the expression of the lac genes is under the control of both nitrate and oxygen, spontaneous regulatory mutants were selected: (i) mutants which synthesize -galactosidase constitutively in anaerobiosis; (ii) mutants in which -galactosidase synthesis is no longer repressed by oxygen.Introduction of the nir R mutated allele into strains carrying these fusions resulted in the total loss of -galactosidase synthesis, confirming that nir R is a regulatory gene controlling the expression of the biosynthesis of the nitrate reductase. 相似文献

The pheST operon codes for the two subunits of phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase and it expression is controlled by attenuation in a way similar to many amino acid biosynthetic operons. The nucleotide sequence of the control regions of the operon indicates the presence of several open reading frames besides that of the leader peptide. One of these open reading frames, called the alternative leader peptide, starts at about the same place as the leader peptide and ends after the terminator of the attenuator. Another open reading frame, called the terminator peptide, starts after the terminator and covers about half the distance to pheS, the first structural gene of the operon. The present report shows that, in fact, the only open reading frame to be translated efficiently is the leader peptide itself. The alternative leader peptide and the terminator peptide are both translated at a negligible rate. 相似文献

Nucleotide sequences around the boundaries of all open reading frames in the Escherichia coli whole genome were analyzed. Characteristic base biases were observed after the initiation codon and before the termination codon. We examined the effect of the base sequence after the initiation codon on the translation efficiency, by introducing mutations after the initiation codon of the E. coli dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) gene, considering codon and base biases, and using in vitro and in vivo translation systems. In both assay systems, the two most frequent second codons, AAA and AAU, enhanced the translation efficiency compared with the wild type, whereas the effects of lower frequency codons were not significant. Experiments using 16S rRNA variants with mutations in the putative complementary sequence to the region downstream of the initiation codon showed that the translation efficiency of none of the DHFR mutants was affected. These results demonstrate that the statistically most frequent sequences for the second codon enhance translation efficiency, and this effect seems to be independent of base pairing between mRNA and 16S rRNA. 相似文献

To facilitate genetic studies of Escherichia coli, we constructed a complete set of mobile plasmid clones of intact open reading frames (ORFs). Their expression is strictly controlled by Ptac / lacI(q). The plasmids carrying each ORF were introduced into an F+ recA strain and stored in 96-well microtiter plates. In this way, 96 clones can be transferred simultaneously to F- bacteria using the conjugative system. This provides a convenient procedure for systematic identification of ORFs that suppress or complement mutations. We created two types of clone sets: the original set contained individual clones in 45 microtiter plates, and a second set contained pools of 48 clones stored in a single microtiter plate. Using these clone sets, we have identified 403 genes that can correct in trans the temperature-sensitive defect of cell division mutants, which would suggest multiple global regulators for bacterial cell division. 相似文献
