A fine structure analysis of the threonine operon in Escherichia coli K-12 was performed by deletion mapping. Lambda transducing bacteriophages carrying various parts of the threonine operon were isolated from strains in which the lacZ gene was fused to a thr gene. We tested for recombination betwee

The promoter of the threonine operon was joined to the structural genes of the lac operon in Escherichia coli K 12. The synthesis of beta-galactosidase was thus repressed by threonine plus isoleucine in the fusion strains. To isolate mutations which affect the expression of the threonine operon, alt
A series of lambda defective ilvC specialized transducing phage has been isolated which carry regions of isoleucine and valine structural and regulatory genes derived from the ilv cluster at minute 83 on the linkage map of the chromosome of Escherichia coli K-12. The ilv genes carried by these phage
The nucleotide sequence has been determined of a 900 bp segment of chromosomal DNA located between 2.6 and 3.5 kb left of the origin of replication, oriC. This segment, which overlaps with the known sequence of the atp operon coding for the eight subunits of the Escherichia coli K12 ATP synthase, co
The nucleotide sequence of the Escherichia coli K12 beta-methylgalactoside transport operon, mgl, was determined. Primer extension analysis indicated that the synthesis of mRNA initiates at guanine residue 145 of the determined sequence. The operon contains three open reading frames (ORF). The opera
We isolated strains of Escherichia coli K 12 in which the lac structural genes were fused to the structural genes of the guaBA operon. These strains were used to isolate regulatory mutations that increased the expression of the guaBA operon under normal repressing conditions as compared to the wild
