Membrane-bound phosphatases in Escherichia coli: sequence of the pgpA gene.

T Icho 1
PMCID: PMC211578  PMID: 2846510

Abstract

One of the phosphatidyl glycerophosphate phosphatase genes of Escherichia coli, pgpA, was cloned, and its DNA sequence was determined. Its 507-base-pair open reading frame was consistent with the 18,000-molecular-weight product identified by a maxicell experiment. Between its possible promoter and methionine initiation codon, a repetitive extragenic palindromic sequence was found.
