We have characterized open reading frame RSP0072, which is located within the flgG operon in Rhodobacter sphaeroides. The amino acid sequence analysis of this gene product showed the presence of a soluble lytic transglycosylase domain. The deletion of the N-terminal region (90 amino acids) of the product of RSP0072 yields a leaky nonmotile phenotype, as determined by swarm assays in soft agar. Electron...
