Abstract excerpt
Era is an essential gene in E. coli, encoding a GTP-binding protein of unknown function. In the present work, a mutant designated Era-dE, for deletion of effector region is described. This is the first and only known era allele that confers a dominant-negative phenotype. Phenotypic analysis of the mutant showed that overproduction of Era-dE caused a dominant inhibition of growth when TCA cycle intermediates such...
