The hisA and hisF genes of Corynebacterium glutamicum were cloned by transforming histidine auxotrophic Escherichia coli with the genomic DNA library. They are two of the eight genes that participate in the histidine biosynthetic pathway. Cloned DNA fragments containing the genes can also complement hisH and hisI auxotrophs of Escherichia coli, suggesting that the four genes are clustered in the genome. We determined the nucleotide sequences of the minimal fragment containing the hisA and hisF genes, which are separated by the impA gene. The coding regions of the hisA and hisF genes are 245 and 257 amino acids in length with a predicted size of about 26 and 27 kDa, respectively. These are in good agreement with the sizes of proteins expressed in E. coli. A high similarity was observed in comparison of nucleotide sequences of each protein between C. glutamicum and other species, as well as those between hisA and hisF genes of C. glutamicum.

D003352 Corynebacterium A genus of asporogenous bacteria that is widely distributed in nature. Its organisms appear as straight to slightly curved rods and are known to be human and animal parasites and pathogens.
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
