Determination of the initiation sites of transcription and translation of the uvrD gene of Escherichia coli. 1986

Y Yamamoto, and T Ogawa, and H Shinagawa, and T Nakayama, and H Matsuo, and H Ogawa

Prior to the analysis of transcription and translation, the nucleotide sequence of the uvrD gene and its neighboring regions was determined by the method of Maxam and Gilbert (Maxam & Gilbert (1980) Methods Enzymol. 65, 499-560). Disagreement in 14 positions between the nucleotide sequence determined by us and that reported previously (Finch & Emmerson (1984) Nucl. Acids Res. 11, 5789-5799) was found. We reexamined these disputed regions. The initiation site of transcription of the uvrD gene was determined by analyzing the transcripts synthesized in vitro. It was found that transcription of the uvrD gene starts from the A nucleotide, which is the first one of the SOS box of the uvrD. The amino terminal sequence and the amino acid composition of the purified UvrD protein (helicase II) were determined. It was found that translation starts from the first ATG codon, which lies 77 nucleotides downstream from the initiation site of transcription. The amino acid composition of the purified UvrD protein agreed well with that deduced from the nucleotide sequence.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010957 Plasmids Extrachromosomal, usually CIRCULAR DNA molecules that are self-replicating and transferable from one organism to another. They are found in a variety of bacterial, archaeal, fungal, algal, and plant species. They are used in GENETIC ENGINEERING as CLONING VECTORS. Episomes,Episome,Plasmid
D003001 Cloning, Molecular The insertion of recombinant DNA molecules from prokaryotic and/or eukaryotic sources into a replicating vehicle, such as a plasmid or virus vector, and the introduction of the resultant hybrid molecules into recipient cells without altering the viability of those cells. Molecular Cloning
D004265 DNA Helicases Proteins that catalyze the unwinding of duplex DNA during replication by binding cooperatively to single-stranded regions of DNA or to short regions of duplex DNA that are undergoing transient opening. In addition, DNA helicases are DNA-dependent ATPases that harness the free energy of ATP hydrolysis to translocate DNA strands.

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

D000251 Adenosine Triphosphatases A group of enzymes which catalyze the hydrolysis of ATP. The hydrolysis reaction is usually coupled with another function such as transporting Ca(2+) across a membrane. These enzymes may be dependent on Ca(2+), Mg(2+), anions, H+, or DNA.
