The genes that encode the two subunits of Bacillus subtilis phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase were cloned from alpha lambda library of chromosomal B. subtilis DNA by specific complementation of a thermosensitive Escherichia coli pheS mutation. Both genes (we named them pheS and pheT, analogous to the corresponding genes of E. coli) are carried by a 6.6-kilobase-pair PstI fragment which also complements E. coli pheT mutations. This fragment directs the synthesis of two proteins identical in size to the purified alpha and beta subunits of the phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase of B. subtilis with Mrs of 42,000 and 97,000, respectively. A recombinant shuttle plasmid carrying the genes caused 10-fold overproduction of functional phenylalanyl-tRNA synthetase in B. subtilis.

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
