Abstract
Recombinant plasmids were constructed that carried various fragments of the DNA specifying the E. coli genes ptsH and (part of) ptsI, the genes for the common components of the phosphoenolpyruvate: sugar phosphotransferase. Expression of plasmid-specified functions in minicells showed that ptsH and ptsI were transcribed clockwise. Most of the transcription of ptsI was from the ptsH promoter, but some was from a 2nd site within or after ptsH.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
