The tryptophan (trp) operon of Escherichia coli has become the basic reference structure for studies on tryptophan metabolism. Within the past five years the application of recombinant DNA and sequencing methodologies has permitted the characterization of the structural and functional elements in this gene cluster at the molecular level. In this summary report we present the complete nucleotide sequence for the five structural genes of the trp operon of E. coli together with the internal and flanking regions of regulatory information. 相似文献

The nucleotide sequence of the E. coli glnALG operon has been determined. The glnL (ntrB) and glnG (ntrC) genes present a high homology, at the nucleotide and aminoacid levels, with the corresponding genes of Klebsiella pneumoniae. The predicted aminoacid sequence for glutamine synthetase allowed us to locate some of the enzyme domains. The structure of this operon is discussed. 相似文献

Expression of the biotin biosynthetic operon of Escherichia coli is regulated by the rate of protein biotination 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

In Escherichia coli biotin biosynthesis is repressed by high concentrations of exogenous biotin. This paper reports that upon high level production of the apo form of a biotinated protein, biotin operon expression was derepressed by 8-10-fold. The biotinated protein studied was the 1.3 S subunit of Propionibacterium shermanii, and transcarboxylase derepression was assayed by beta-galactosidase production in strains which carry a lacZ gene altered such that it is transcribed from biotin operon promoters. Depression of beta-galactosidase synthesis upon production of the apo 1.3 S protein was observed over a several hundred-fold range of biotin concentrations and also resulted in an increased level of biotin operon expression at maximally repressing biotin concentrations. Biotin operon derepression by apobiotin protein production seems a direct consequence of the properties of the biotin repressor protein which also functions as the ligase catalyzing the covalent attachment of biotin to apoproteins. 相似文献

In this report we present the complete nucleotide sequence of the ilvGMEDA operon of Escherichia coli. This operon contains five genes encoding four of the five enzymes required for the biosynthesis of isoleucine and valine. We identify and describe the coding regions for these five structural genes and the structural and functional features of the flanking and internal regulatory regions of this operon. This new information contributes to a more complete understanding of the overall control of the biosynthesis of isoleucine and valine. 相似文献

Overproduction and rapid purification of the biotin operon repressor from Escherichia coli 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The Escherichia coli biotin operon repressor protein (BirA) has been overexpressed at the level of 0.5-1% of the total cellular protein from the plasmid pMBR10. Four lines of evidence demonstrated that authentic BirA protein was produced. First, birA plasmids complemented birA mutants for both the repressor and biotin holoenzyme synthetase activities of BirA. Second, biotin holoenzyme synthase activity was increased in strains containing the overproducing plasmids. Third, deletion of sequences flanking the birA gene did not alter production of the 35-kDa BirA protein, but insertion of oligonucleotide linkers within the birA coding region abolished it. Fourth, the 35-kDa protein copurified with the biotin binding activity normally associated with BirA. The birA protein has been purified to homogeneity in a three-step process involving chromatography on phosphocellulose and hydroxyapatite columns. 相似文献

The nucleotide sequence of IS5 from Escherichia coli 总被引:24,自引:0,他引:24
A 3-kb fragment of Haemophilus haemolyticus DNA which carries the HhaII restriction (r) and modification (m) genes has been cloned into the PstI site of pBR322 (Mann et al., 1978). When propagated in Escherichia coli, it was observed that spontaneous insertions of IS5 inactivated the restriction gene, producing r- mutants at a frequency of 10(-6). Electron microscopy, restriction-site mapping and sequence analysis of two r- plasmids have demonstrated the presence of IS5 at a single target site in both possible orientations. The complete nucleotide sequence of IS5 has been determined. It is 1195 bp long and has inverted terminal repeats of 16 bp. The target site for IS5 in this plasmid is 5'-CTAG. Approx. ten copies of IS5 were found to be present at about the same locations on the E. coli chromosome in various K-12 strains, using Southern hybridization analysis. 相似文献

The atp operon: nucleotide sequence of the region encoding the alpha-subunit of Escherichia coli ATP-synthase 总被引:23,自引:8,他引:23 下载免费PDF全文
Part of the atp (or unc) operon encoding the alpha, beta, gamma, delta, and epsilon subunits of Escherichia coli ATP-synthase has been cloned into the plasmid pACYC 184. The DNA coding for the largest of these proteins, the alphas subunit, has been sequenced by cloning into the bacteriophage M13 and sequencing with dideoxy nucleotide chain terminators. It comprises 1539 nucleotides corresponding to a protein of 513 amino acids. 相似文献

The nucleotide seuquence of Escherichia coli asparagine tRNA was determined to be pU-C-C-U-C-U-G-s4U-A-G-U-U-C-A-G-D-C-G-G-D-A-G-A-A-C-G-G-C-G-G-A-C-U-Q-U-U-t6A-A-phi-C-C-G-U-A-U-m G-U-C-A-C-U-G-G-T-phi-C-G-A-G-U-C-C-A-G-U-C-A-G-A-G-G-A-G-C-C-AOH. Its D-stem and D-loop have almost the same sequence as Escherichia coli aspartate tRNA. 相似文献

The nucleotide sequence of the ilvBN operon of Escherichia coli: sequence homologies of the acetohydroxy acid synthase isozymes. 总被引:19,自引:5,他引:19 下载免费PDF全文
Three acetohydroxy acid synthase isozymes, AHAS I (ilvBN), AHAS II (ilvGM) and AHAS III (ilvIH) catalyze the first step of the parallel isoleucine-valine biosynthetic pathway in Escherichia coli. Previous DNA sequence and protein purification data have shown that AHAS II and AHAS III are composed of large and small subunits encoded in the ilvGMEDA and ilvIH operons, respectively. Recent protein purification and characterization data have demonstrated that the AHAS I isozyme is also composed of large and small subunits (L. Eoyang, L. and P. M. Silverman [1984] J. Bacteriol. 157:184-189). Now the complete DNA sequence of the operon encoding the AHAS I isozyme has been determined. These data show that both AHAS I subunits (Mr 60,400 and Mr 11,100) are encoded in this operon. The coordinant regulation of both genes of the ilvBN operon has also been demonstrated. Comparisons of the DNA sequences of the genes encoding all three AHAS isozymes have been performed. Conserved homologies were observed between both the large and small subunits of all three isozymes. The closest homology was seen between the AHAS I and AHAS II isozymes. On the basis of these comparisons a rationale for the evolution of the AHAS isozymes in E. coli has been proposed. 相似文献

The nucleotide sequence of recG, the distal spo operon gene in Escherichia coli K-12. 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
A gene is identified in the Escherichia coli K-12 spo operon as recG. Previously identified genes in the spo operon were spoS, alias rpoZ, encoding the omega (omega) subunit of RNA polymerase, as well as the spoT gene encoding the major cellular source of guanosine 3',5'-bispyrophosphate hydrolase activity. The gene order within the spo operon is: spoS (rpoZ), spoT, spoU, recG. A convergent gltS gene is present beyond the spo operon. Mutants bearing recG deletion-insertion alleles display mild sensitivities to both ultraviolet irradiation and to mitomycin C, which is expected to be due to a known recG insertion allele. Deletion-insertion mutations in upstream operon genes (spoT and spoU) show polar effects on these assays of recG function. The deduced 693-amino acid (aa) RecG sequence shows a weak, but significant, relatedness to aa sequence motifs previously reported for putative helicases involved in replication, recombination, and DNA repair. 相似文献

Biotin concentration was determined unequivocally with the E. coli bio mutant. The results demonstrate that this simple and efficient method can determine biotin concentration in the range of 10 pg to 50 ng/ml. The present method can also clearly distinguish biotin from its precursor and analog, dethiobiotin. 相似文献

Cloning and complete nucleotide sequence of the Escherichia coli glutamine permease operon (glnHPQ) 总被引:22,自引:0,他引:22
Summary The glutamine permease operon encoding the high-affinity transport system of glutamine in Escherichia coli could be cloned in one of the mini F plasmids, but not in pBR322 or pACYC184, by selection for restoration of the Gln+ phenotype, the ability to utilize glutamine as a sole carbon source. We determined the nucleotide sequence of the glutamine permease operon, which contains the structural gene of the periplasmic glutamine-binding protein (glnH), an indispensable component of the permease activity. The N-terminal amino acid sequence and the overall amino acid composition of the purified glutamine-binding protein were in good agreement with those predicted from the nucleotide sequence, if the N-terminal 22 amino acid residues were discounted. The latter comprised two Lys residues (nos. 2 and 6) followed by 16 hydrophobic amino acid residues and was assumed to be a signal peptide for transport into the periplasmic space. There were two additional reading frames (glnP and glnQ) downstream of glnH sharing a common promoter. It was concluded that the glnP and glnQ proteins as well as the glnH protein are essential for glutamine permease activity. 相似文献

The nucleotide sequence of the Escherichia coli rts gene 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The nucleotide sequence of rts, an essential Escherichia coli gene, has been determined. Transformation of an rts mutant with the plasmid, pJAF1, containing the rts gene resulted in rescue of the defect. The transformation experiments indicate that the rts gene is distinct from the flanking birA, tRNA and tufB genes. 相似文献

Primary structures of Escherichia coli pyruvate formate-lyase and pyruvate-formate-lyase-activating enzyme deduced from the DNA nucleotide sequences 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13
The structural gene of pyruvate formate-lyase (pfl) and that of pyruvate-formate-lyase-activating enzyme were shown to be adjacent on the chromosomal map of Escherichia coli. DNA sequencing was performed along a stretch of 3592 nucleotides to obtain the amino acid sequences of both proteins. The derived primary structures (759 and 245 residues) were confirmed by partial structure analyses on the purified proteins. The open reading frames are separated by a 194-nucleotide stretch, and their flanking regions include signal elements that are compatible with separate control of protein synthesis from the two genes. 相似文献
