Abstract excerpt
The 3' region of the cpc operon of Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002 has been sequenced, transcriptionally characterized, and analyzed by interposon mutagenesis. The cpc operon contains six genes, 5' cpcB-cpcA-cpcC-cpcD-cpcE-cpcF 3', and gives rise to at least eight (more likely ten) discrete mRNA transcripts. The steady-state levels of transcripts for the cpcE and cpcF genes are very low and are estimated to represent...
