phs Locus of Escherichia coli, a mutation causing pleiotropic lesions in metabolism, is an rpoA allele.

G C Rowland, P M Giffard, I R Booth
PMCID: PMC214355  PMID: 2932430

Abstract

The phs mutation, which causes a pleiotropic growth defect, has been mapped and shown to be an allele of rpoA, the gene for the alpha subunit of RNA polymerase. The mutation is shown to cause a transcription defect in the arabinose operon, araBAD.
