Cloning of the aroP gene and identification of its product in Escherichia coli K-12.

M L Chye, J R Guest, J Pittard
PMCID: PMC212958  PMID: 3015892

Abstract

The aroP gene of Escherichia coli K-12 was located in a ca. 1.2-kilobase region of DNA. The aroP gene product was identified as a membrane-bound protein with an apparent molecular weight of approximately 37,000.
