Genetic analysis of a mutation affecting ribosomal protein S1 in Escherichia coli. 1979

M Ono, and M Kuwano, and S Mizushima

Ribosomal protein S1 from a newly isolated Escherichia coli mutant has a molecular weight of about 54,000 which is smaller than the wild type S1 (M.W. 65,000). The isoelectric points of the smaller and the wild type S1 species are similar in the gel electrophoresis system of O'Farrell (1975). Genetic analyses by Hfr conjugation and P1 phage transduction indicate that the mutation affecting S1 (rpsA) is located close to the serC gene [20 min on the E. coli genetic map of Bachmann et al. (1976)], with a co-transduction frequency of 61%. The most probable gene order is serC-rpsA-cmlB.

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
