Characterization of the amsI gene product as a low molecular weight acid phosphatase controlling exopolysaccharide synthesis of Erwinia amylovora.

FEBS letters - 3 Jan 1997

Bugert P, Geider K

Abstract excerpt

The ams region, responsible for amylovoran synthesis of the fireblight pathogen Erwinia amylovora, contains the gene amsI encoding a 144 amino acid protein with homology to mammalian low molecular weight acid phosphatases [Bugert and Geider (1995) Mol. Microbiol. 15, 917-9331. A DNA fragment with...
