The RLEP-flanked polA gene from Mycobacterium leprae is not transcribed in Mycobacterium smegmatis.

Gene - 10 Mar 1997

Gordhan B G, Mizrahi V

Abstract excerpt

A polA mutant of Mycobacterium smegmatis (Ms) lacking DNA polymerase activity could not support the replication of a pAL5000-derived plasmid or a derivative harbouring the RLEP-flanked polA gene from M. leprae (Mlep). In contrast, the plasmid containing the M. tuberculosis polA gene transformed the mutant with high efficiency and complemented its damage-sensitive phenotype suggesting that the replication of the...
