The DNA sequence of the promoter-attenuator of the ilvGEDA operon of Salmonella typhimurium.

چکیده
The isolation of a lambda gt . ilvGEDA . S.t. hybrid transducing phage has permitted the characterization of the promoter-attenuator region of the ilvGEDA operon of Salmonella typhimurium. In vitro transcription and Southern hybridization indicate that the promoter-attenuator resides on a 400 nucleotide Rsa I restriction fragment. DNA sequence analysis shows only seven base pair differences exist between the DNA sequence of the ilvGEDA promoter-attenuator of S. typhimurium and that previously published for Escherichia coli K12.

Mutations that render the promoter of the histidine operon of Salmonella typhimurium insensitive to nutrient-rich medium repression and amino acid downshift.
The effects of mutations in the promoter of the histidine operon of Salmonella typhimurium were examined in vivo. The wild-type chromosomal copy of the his promoter was replaced with mutations in the -10 hexamer sequence and in the region between the -10 hexamer and the transcriptional start point-termed the discriminator sequence. The substitutions were performed with a phage M13 allele replac...
متن کاملMultilocus Sequence Typing of the Clinical Isolates of Salmonella Enterica Serovar Typhimurium in Tehran Hospitals
Background: Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium is one of the most important serovars of Salmonella enterica and is associated with human salmonellosis worldwide. Many epidemiological studies have focused on the characteristics of Salmonella Typhimurium in many countries as well as in Asia. This study was conducted to investigate the genetic characteristics of Salmonella Typhimurium using m...
متن کاملRestriction endonuclease analysis of the ilvGEDA operon of members of the family Enterobacteriaceae.
Four of the genes required for the biosynthesis of isoleucine and valine form the ilvGEDA operon in Escherichia coli K-12 and Salmonella typhimurium. The structural relationship of these genes was examined in eight other members of the family Enterobacteriaceae by genomic Southern blot hybridization. These genes are contiguous in all the strains examined, and specific restriction sites appear t...
متن کاملTranscriptional regulation and gene arrangement of Escherichia coli, Citrobacter freundii and Salmonella typhimurium biotin operons.
The bio operons of Citrobacter freundii and Escherichia coli K-12 (strain C600) were isolated by screening lambda banks for complementation of E. coli bio mutants. These were compared with the previously isolated bio operon of Salmonella typhimurium and previous data on E. coli K-12. The restriction maps of the operon are very different in the three species, but no difference in gene order was ...
متن کاملGenetic analysis of the histidine operon control region of Salmonella typhimurium.
Mutants of the histidine operon control region (hisO) include two classes: (1) those completely unable to express the operon (His auxotrophs), and (2) prototrophs that are unable to achieve fully induced levels of operon expression (still His+ but sensitive to the drug amino-triazole). Using new, as well as previously existing hisO mutants, we constructed a fine-structure deletion map of GO. Mu...
