✦ Synopsis

A series of deletions, Mu insertions and point mutations affecting the malK-lamB operon have been isolated. They were used to establish a deletion map of this operon, which could be divided in 27 intervals, with 16 in malK and 11 in lamB. One interesting feature of this map is the lack of randomness in the distribution of Mu insertions in the lamB gene; by using data published elsewhere on the physical length of the deletion intervals it can be concluded that about 25% of these Mu insertions are clustered in a segment representing 2 to 8% of the gene. This map is presently being used to study the biosynthesis, structure, and function of the lamB product, which is an outer membrane protein involved in the transport of maltose and maltodextrin, and which in addition constitutes the receptor for phage lambda.

Starting with a strain containing a malK-lacZ fusion, a series of lambda plaque-forming phages which carry varying amounts of the malE,F operon have been isolated. We have used these phages to construct a deletion map of the malE,F operon. The construction of this deletion map has led to the identif

A correlation between the genetic and physical maps of the malB region was obtained by performing a restriction cleavage analysis of DNA's carrying various genetically characterized malB deletions. This also allowed to localize the boundaries between malF and malE, malE and malK, mal K and lamB on t

lamB, the structural gene for lambda receptor, is the second gene of the malK-lamB operon in the malB region of the Escherichia coli K12 chromosome. lamB is essentially not expressed in the absence of an active malT gene product, the activator of the maltose regulon. A malT strain is resistant to ph

A fine structure analysis of the threonine operon in Escherichia coli K-12 was performed by deletion mapping.

The regulatory region of the gua operon of Escherichia coli is contained within a 2.1 kb EcoR1 restriction fragment isolated from a lambda pgua transducing phage. This DNA fragment was inserted into pPV33-II, a promoter-cloning vector, where it activated the gene(s) for tetracycline resistance. The
