Abstract excerpt
The actA gene, which is disrupted by Tn5 in the acid-sensitive mutant of Rhizobium meliloti TG2-6, was cloned and sequenced. It encodes a protein of 541 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of 57,963 Da and an estimated pl of 9.0. The ActA protein sequence has 30% identity, and much higher similarity (69%), with the CutE protein of Escherichia coli. Like the cutE mutant of E. coli, TG2-6 is sensitive to...
