The transducing phage 2 dsupM814 and the plasmid rpIK A l L rpo 8 plB1830 containing the wild-type rpoB gene have been constructed and the primary structure ยฐf the gene's central fragment l l l has been established.

The unusual recombinant plasmid pRC19 carrying the N-terminal fragment of the Escherichia coli RNA polymerase rpoB gene was found to specify high level rifampicin resistance of E. coli cells. Sequence analysis of this plasmid revealed one substitution only: transversion G----T, leading to amino acid
The isolation and characterization of a new mutation conferring radiation sensitivity in Escherichia coli is described. This mutation is located close to the gene coding for deoxycytidine deaminase, in the chromosomal region of the gat operon. It is very sensitive to gamma rays and exhibits a decrea
A class of rpoB mutations is described which suppresses replication and transcription deficiency in gyrB-ts mutants shifted to a nonpermissive temperature. The compensatory effect of an altered subunit B of RNA polymerase (rpoB) for the gyrB defect, indicates that transcription is a primary target o
