✦ Synopsis

A strain which carries a mutation conferring clorobiocin resistance and temperature sensitivity for growth was isolated from Escherichia coli K12. Genetic mapping and the molecular weight of the gene product suggest that the mutation is in the cou gene, specifying a sub-unit of DNA gyrase. Nuclear organisation and segregation and placement of septa are grossly abnormal in the mutant at 42 degrees C. RNA synthesis and initiation of DNA replication are also affected at the restrictive temperature but the rate of DNA chain elongation continues almost undisturbed.

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
