Abstract excerpt
The production of defined isogenic Helicobacter pylori pyrB mutants was undertaken to investigate the role of aspartate carbamoyltransferase (encoded by pyrB) in the survival of the bacterium. The complete structural gene for aspartate carbamoyltransferase from H. pylori strain RU1 was cloned into Escherichia coli by complementation of a pyrB auxotrophic mutant to facilitate the construction of a pyrB-disrupted...
