Nucleotide sequence of a Bacillus pumilus gene specifying chloramphenicol acetyltransferase. 1983

C R Harwood, and D M Williams, and P S Lovett

Gene cat-86 of Bacillus pumilus, specifying chloramphenicol-inducible chloramphenicol acetyltransferase, was previously cloned in Bacillus subtilis on plasmid pUB110. The nucleotide sequence of cat-86 indicates that the gene encodes a protein of 220 amino acids and contains TTG as the translations-initiation codon. The proteins specified by cat-86 and the cat genes present on pC194, pC221 and Tn9 appear to share regions of amino acid sequence similarity. cat-86 is a structural gene on the B. subtilis expression plasmid pPL608. Restriction sites exist within the gene that should permit the product of inserted heterologous coding sequences to be synthesized in B. subtilis as fusion proteins.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D004251 DNA Transposable Elements Discrete segments of DNA which can excise and reintegrate to another site in the genome. Most are inactive, i.e., have not been found to exist outside the integrated state. DNA transposable elements include bacterial IS (insertion sequence) elements, Tn elements, the maize controlling elements Ac and Ds, Drosophila P, gypsy, and pogo elements, the human Tigger elements and the Tc and mariner elements which are found throughout the animal kingdom.

D015500 Chloramphenicol O-Acetyltransferase An enzyme that catalyzes the acetylation of chloramphenicol to yield chloramphenicol 3-acetate. Since chloramphenicol 3-acetate does not bind to bacterial ribosomes and is not an inhibitor of peptidyltransferase, the enzyme is responsible for the naturally occurring chloramphenicol resistance in bacteria. The enzyme, for which variants are known, is found in both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. EC 2.3.1.28.
