Reversion instability in the galactose operon of Escherichia coli.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The gal-3 mutation, which had been shown previously to produce unstable revertants, was combined in three instances with recA, a mutation which suppresses recombination. Unstable revertants were produced in the gal-3 recA recombinants qualitatively as frequently as in the absence of the recA gene, and it is concluded that a recombination mechanism is not the basis of the instability observed.

Mutations caused by the insertion of genetic material into the galactose operon of Escherichia coli.
Density-gradient analysis shows that X transducing phages which carry spontaneous extreme polar mutations of the galactose operon have higher buoyant densities than otherwise identical phage which carry a wild-type galactose operon. Control experiments show that the density increases are not artifacts of the techniques used to isolate mutant transducing phages and that removal of the spontaneou...
متن کاملBroad host range plasmids carrying the Escherichia coli lactose and galactose operons.
We have developed a number of broad-host-range plasmids that allow the expression of the Escherichia coli lac operon from any cloned promoter, and the creation of 'in phase' fusions between lacZ and other cloned genes. In a second series of constructions, the E. coli gal operon has been cloned into the broad-host-range vector and a plasmid carrying both the E. coli gal and lac genes is describe...
متن کاملMolecular Study of Phase Variation of Type 1 Fimbriae in Uropathogenic Escherichia coli O44 Serotypes during Touching with Solid Surfaces
Background & Aims: Type 1 fimbriae is the most common adhesion factor in urine tract infection. In this Study, presence of virulence genes in isolated strains of uropathogenic E.Coli, O serotyping and molecular detection of phase variation of type 1 fimbriae were assessed during solid surfaces exposure. Methods: Isolated E.coli from urine samples of patients were serotyped by using serologic me...
متن کاملThe enzymes of the galactose operon in Escherichia coli. IV. The frequencies of translation of the terminal cistrons in the operon.
The frequencies of translation of the structural genes for uridine diphosphogalactose 4-epimerase and for galactokinase have been determined in wild type Escherichia coli and found to be equivalent under a variety of conditions. As these structural genes are the terminal cistrons in the galactose operon, it is concluded that polarity is not an inherent characteristic of this operon. The additio...
متن کاملInduction of the galactose enzymes in Escherichia coli is independent of the C-1-hydroxyl optical configuration of the inducer D-galactose.
The two optical forms of aldohexose galactose differing at the C-1 position, alpha-D-galactose and beta-D-galactose, are widespread in nature. The two anomers also occur in di- and polysaccharides, as well as in glycoconjugates. The anomeric form of D-galactose, when present in complex carbohydrates, e.g., cell wall, glycoproteins, and glycolipids, is specific. Their interconversion occurs as m...
