Abstract excerpt
Transposon insertion, followed by screening, has allowed the identification of a set of genes, called htr, whose products are required for Escherichia coli growth at elevated temperatures. The htrB gene has been shown to map at 23.5 min on the E. coli genetic map. It codes for a very basic, hydrophobic, 35,000-Mr polypeptide, possessing a putative membrane-spanning domain. At the non-permissive temperature, htrB...
