Abstract excerpt
We have previously identified the gene (the ssc gene) defective in the thermosensitive and antibiotic-supersusceptible outer membrane permeability mutant SS-C of Salmonella typhimurium and shown that this gene is analogous to the Escherichia coli gene firA (L. Hirvas, P. Koski, and M. Vaara, EMBO J. 10:1017-1023, 1991). Others have tentatively implicated firA in a different function, mRNA synthesis. Here we...
