نویسندگان
چکیده
The complete structure of the Escherichia coli S10 ribosomal protein operon is presented. Based on the DNA sequence, the deduced order of the 11 genes in the operon is rpsJ, rplC, rplD, rplW, rplB, rpsS, rplV, rpsC, rplP, rpmC, rpsQ. The estimated transcribed length of the operon is 5181 base pairs. Putative sequences involved in ribosome binding are discussed. The DNA sequence data corrects several errors in previously determined protein sequence data.

Secondary structure of the leader transcript from the Escherichia coli S10 ribosomal protein operon.
Genetic analysis of the autogenous control of the S10 ribosomal protein operon of Escherichia coli has suggested that the secondary or tertiary structure of the leader transcript is important for this regulation. We have therefore determined the secondary structure of the leader by enzyme digestion and chemical modification. Our results suggest that the 172 base leader exists in two forms, diff...
متن کاملTranscription of ribosomal genes during a nutritional shift-up of Escherichia coli.
We measured the differential transcription rates of individual ribosomal operons after a nutritional shift-up. All operons showed a transient increase in transcription. However, the response of the S10 ribosomal protein operon was much stronger than that of any other operon. We propose that only the S10 operon is autogenously regulated by a transcription attenuation mechanism.
متن کاملPhylogenetic analysis of L4-mediated autogenous control of the S10 ribosomal protein operon.
We investigated the regulation of the S10 ribosomal protein (r-protein) operon among members of the gamma subdivision of the proteobacteria, which includes Escherichia coli. In E. coli, this 11-gene operon is autogenously controlled by r-protein L4. This regulation requires specific determinants within the untranslated leader of the mRNA. Secondary structure analysis of the S10 leaders of five ...
متن کاملCloning and sequence analysis of the Chlamydia trachomatis spc ribosomal protein gene cluster.
We identified and sequenced a segment of Chlamydia trachomatis chromosomal DNA that shows homology to the Escherichia coli spc and distal region of the S10 ribosomal protein (r-protein) operons. Its sequence revealed a high degree of nucleotide and operon context conservation with the E. coli r-protein genes. The C. trachomatis spec operon contains the r-protein genes for L14, L24, L5, S8, L6, ...
متن کاملRibosomal protein L4 and transcription factor NusA have separable roles in mediating terminating of transcription within the leader of the S10 operon of Escherichia coli.
Ribosomal protein L4 of Escherichia coli autogenously regulates both transcription and translation of the 11-gene S10 operon. Transcription regulation occurs by L4-stimulated premature termination at an attenuator hairpin in the S10 leader. This effect can be reproduced in vitro but depends on the addition of transcription factor NusA. We show that NusA is required to promote RNA polymerase pau...
