Abstract excerpt
The upper pathway operon of the toluene catabolic pathway of TOL plasmid pWW0 was shown to carry two open reading frames between the start of transcription and xylC (encoding benzaldehyde dehydrogenase), the first previously reported gene of the operon. These were designated xylUW: xylU encoded a protein of 131 amino acid residues (M(r) 14,244) which bore no relationship with any protein in the databases, and...
