E. Belouski et al., COMPLEMENTATION OF AN ESCHERICHIA-COLI POLYPEPTIDE DEFORMYLASE MUTANTWITH A GENE FROM CLOSTRIDIUM-ACETOBUTYLICUM ATCC-824, Current microbiology, 36(4), 1998, pp. 248-249
The Clostridium acetobutylicum ATCC 824 DNA containing the 3' end of a
PriA homolog, deformylase (def, and the 5' and of formyltransferase (
fmt) has been cloned, sequenced, and used to complement an Escherichia
coli mutant. While def and fmt have been found sharing an operon in o
ther organisms, the presence of a third gene within a putative operon
has not previously been found.
