| Abstract |
Mutants defective in utilization of uracil at low concentrations have been isolated and characterized. The mutations in question (uraA) map close to the upp gene encoding uracil phosphoribosyltransferase. By complementation analysis, a plasmid that complements the uraA mutation has been isolated. The uraA gene was shown to be the second gene in a bicistronic operon with upp as the promoter proximal gene. The nucleotide sequence of the gene was determined, and the gene encodes a hydrophobic membrane protein with a calculated Mr of 45,030. The UraA protein has been identified in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels in the membrane fraction of minicells harboring the uraA plasmids. |
