โฆ Synopsis
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 promoters are located within the gene for this 25 K protein. The rpsA leader region including the sequence of the 25 K protein and its promoter was DNA sequenced.

The physical and genetic structure of 37 kilobases of DNA encompassing the tdc region at 68.3 min of the Escherichia coli chromosome was determined by DNA sequence analysis and restriction mapping. Re-examination of new data concerning the direction of transcription of the tdc operon revealed that i
Mutations in the pts genes (which code for the enzyme I and HPr protein - the general components of the phosphoenolypyruvate-dependent phosphotransferase system) lead to decreases in enzyme-inducible synthesis at the level of transcription. The intracellular content of cyclic AMP in the ptsIH mutant
