โฆ Synopsis
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 a possible promoter and a typical ribosomal binding site upstream from the translational initiation codon (GUG) of the HU-1 gene.

Vitreoscilla hemoglobin is involved in oxygen metabolism of this bacterium, possibly in an unusual role for a microbe. We have isolated the Vitreoscilla hemoglobin structural gene from a pUC19 genomic library using mixed oligodeoxy-nucleotide probes based on the reported amino acid sequence of the p
The hemB gene of Escherichia coli K12, coding for porphobilinogen synthase (PBG-S; syn., 5-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase, ALA-D), was cloned following insertion of an EcoRI fragment of plasmid F'13 into the mobilizable vector pCR1. The hybrid plasmid carrying the hemB gene was able to complement a
The glutamine permease operon encoding the high-affinity transport system of glutamine in Escherichia coli could be cloned in one of the mini F plasmids, but not in pBR322 or pACYC184, by selection for restoration of the Gln+ phenotype, the ability to utilize glutamine as a sole carbon source. We de
We report here the complete nucleotide sequence of the E. coli triose phosphate isomerase gene. The gene encodes a polypeptide of 255 amino acids which is approximately 46% homologous to eukaryotic triose phosphate isomerases, and approximately 38% homologous to the enzyme from a thermophilic bacter
Using methods of in vitro recombination we constructed hybrid plasmids that can suppress the increased methylmethane sulfonate sensitivity caused by alkB mutation. Since the cloned DNA fragment was mapped at 47 rain on the Escherichia coli K12 genetic map, an area where the alkB gene is located, we
