Abstract excerpt
The lexA gene of Xanthomonas campestris pathovar citri (X.c. pv. citri) was cloned and sequenced. The 639-bp open reading frame encodes a protein of 213 amino acids that shares substantial sequence homology with the products of previously characterized lexA genes, sharing 46% identity with the LexA protein of Escherichia coli. Amino acids required for autocatalytic cleavage of LexA are conserved in the X.c. pv....
