Abstract excerpt
A selection for mutants of Escherichia coli that survive coexpression of bacteriophage T7 gene 10 and plasmid F pifA has allowed the identification of a newly defined genetic locus, fxsA. fxsA is located at 94.1 min on the E. coli chromosome; the gene is monocistronic and non-essential for growth. Overexpression of fxsA is necessary for resistance to the toxicity of T7 gene 10 in the presence of pifA; the...
