Mapping of trxB, a mutation responsible for reduced thioredoxin reductase activity.

PMCID: PMC215769  PMID: 6090385

Abstract

The mutation (trxB) responsible for reduced thioredoxin reductase activity has been mapped on the Escherichia coli K-12 chromosome clockwise from aroA between 20 and 21 min. The gene order in this region of the E. coli chromosome was found to probably be serC-aroA-trxB. The location of gshA, the structural gene for gamma-glutamylcystein synthetase, relative to srl and recA also was determined.
