✦ Synopsis

A characterization of a specialized transducing lambda phage for the deo operon (lambdaddeo), and some composite colE1-deo plasmids is given in this paper. This includes localization of the RSmaI, RHind/III, RBamI, and REcoRI sensitive sites. The deo genes have been localized by construction of composite colE1-deo plasmids. Using the DNA fragments, obtained by digestion with REcoRI and RHindIII, respectively, as templates in an in vitro protein synthesizing system, it has been possible to give the direction of transcription and the exact location of the deo genes, relative to the endonuclease sites. Furthermore, the cytO,P and deoO,P regions have been mapped relative to the structural genes. Supercoiled co1E1-deo DNA has been used as template in the in vitro system; this DNA gives essentially the same results as the endonuclease-fragmented DNA. The use of the different types of templates is discussed.

The bifunctional enzyme imidazoleglycerolphosphate dehydratase and histidinolphosphate phosphatase is encoded by the hisB gene. The fourth gene of the histidine operon, hisB, was cloned and mapped on a 2,300 base pair DNA fragment. In the present study we report the complete nucleotide sequence of t

The rate of synthesis and intracellular content of the NusA protein, a transcription termination factor, were determined for wild-type and nusA and/or nusB mutants of Escherichia coli. Both the rate and content of NusA in wild-type strains were similar to that of the RNA polymerase sigma subunit, a

Three strong and two minor rpsA promoters were found by nuclease S1 mapping, promoter cloning and in vitro transcription. The longest transcript encodes a protein, located upstream from rpsA with a molecular weight of 25,000. The identity of this protein remains to be established. The other rpsA pro

Four ribosomal protein genes, rplA, rplJ, rplK and rplL form an operon in E. coli together with the genes rpoB and rpoC which encode the/~ and fi' subunits of RNA polymerase. Transcription is initiated principally at two promoters, PL1 and P1, the overall structure of the operon being (in the direct
