Genetic analysis of the histidine operon in Escherichia coli K12.
I N Salmonella typhimurium a cluster of nine genes, behaving as a single operon (AMES and GARRY 1959) specify the enzymes which carry out the ten reactions involved in the biosynthesis of histidine; one of the nine enzymes is bifunctional (LOPER, GRABNAR, STAHL, HARTMAN and HARTMAN 1964). The histidine operon is contained in a linear segment of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) estimated by AMES, GOL...
متن کاملEvidence for binding protein-independent substrate translocation by the methylgalactoside transport system of Escherichia coli K12.
Three genes, mgl A, B, and C, are required for active transport of substrate by the methylgalactose permease of E. coli K12. We report here that only two of these genes are required for substrate translocation, as seen by the ability or inability of isogenic mgl mutants (referred to as Tra+ and Tra minus, respectively) to grow on methyl-beta-D-galactopyranoside, supplied as sole carbon source. ...
متن کاملDivergent operons and the genetic structure of the maltose B region in Escherichia coli K12.
Complementation and polarity suppression data are interpreted in terms of the genetic structure of the maltose B region. It is proposed that this region comprises two divergent operons. One operon includes malK, a cistron involved in maltose permeation, and lamB the only known cistron specifically involved in lambda receptor synthesis. The other operon includes malJ(1) and malJ(2) which are mos...
متن کاملHypermutation in derepressed operons of Escherichia coli K12.
This article presents evidence that starvation for leucine in an Escherichia coli auxotroph triggers metabolic activities that specifically target the leu operon for derepression, increased rates of transcription, and mutation. Derepression of the leu operon was a prerequisite for its activation by the signal nucleotide, guanosine tetraphosphate, which accumulates in response to nutritional str...
متن کاملCharacterization of the cyn operon in Escherichia coli K12.
Escherichia coli can overcome the toxicity of environmental cyanate by hydrolysis of cyanate to ammonia and bicarbonate. This reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme cyanase, encoded by the cynS gene. The nucleotide sequence of cynS has been reported (Sung, Y.-c., Anderson, P. M., and Fuchs, J. A. (1987) J. Bacteriol. 169, 5224-5230). The nucleotide sequence of the complete cyn operon has now been ...
