We have sequenced the fruR gene and flanking DNA fragments from Escherichia coli K12 and Salmonella typhimurium LT2. The fruR gene codes for a protein that represses the fru operon and activates the pps gene for PEP synthase. The corresponding open reading frame (ORF) FruR consists of 334 amino acid
The pepM gene coding for a methionine-specific aminopeptidase was cloned from Salmonella typhimurium and its nucleotide sequence determined. The gene encoded a 264 amino acid protein that was homologous to a similar protein from Escherichia coli. The sequence of an overproducer mutant allele, pepM10
The hemA gene of Escherichia coli K12 was cloned by complementation of a hemA mutant of this organism. Subcloning of the initial 6.0 kb HindIII fragment allowed the isolation of a 1.5 kb NheI-AvaI fragment which retained the ability to complement the hemA mutant. DNA sequencing by the dideoxy chain
The Escherichia coli HU-1 was cloned by use of mixed synthetic oligonucleotides (17-mer) predicted from a portion of its amino acid sequence. The amino acid sequence of the HU-1 protein deduced from the nucleotide sequence is in good agreement with the published sequence. The nucleotide sequence has
