Abstract excerpt
The polypeptides encoded by the mcrA gene were analysed using a T7 expression system. Cloned fragments of 1.6 and 1.0 kb displayed an McrA+/RglA+ phenotype and directed synthesis of a 31-kDa polypeptide. A derivative of these clones altered at an internal HindIII site displayed an McrA+/RglA- phenotype and directed production of a 23-kDa polypeptide. Smaller inserts displayed McrA-/RglA- phenotypes, though a...
