Expression of Escherichia coli ribosomal protein and RNA polymerase genes cloned on plasmids. 1979

N P Fiil, and D Bendiak, and J Collins, and J D Friesen

Fragments of lambda drifd 18 DNA with different end-points within the set of structural genes of ribosomal proteins L11 (RPLK), Li (rplA), L10 (rplJ) and L12 (rplL) as well as the beta (rpoB) ANd beta' (rpoC) subunits of RNA polymerase have been cloned on plasmids. These plasmids were transformed in host cells which were mutant for each of the genes, enabling expression of both wild-type (plasmid-borne) and mutant (chromosomal) genes to be differentiated. On the basis of these results we propose the following genetic structure for the region: rplK and rplA are in one operon; rplL, rpoB and rpoC are in a second. Our data suggest the possibility that rplJ is by itself in an operon situated between the other two.

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
