Cloning and expression of the Escherichia coli K-12 sad gene.

L E Marek 1, J M Henson 1
PMCID: PMC210754  PMID: 3276667

Abstract

The Escherichia coli K-12 sad gene, which encodes an NAD-dependent succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase, was cloned into a high-copy-number vector. Minicells carrying a sad+ plasmid produced a 55,000-dalton peptide, the probable sad gene product.
