Abstract excerpt
We cloned the era gene of Francisella tularensis from a plasmid library by heterologous genetic complementation of an Escherichia coli mutant conditionally defective for the production of Era, an essential protein for cell growth. Nucleotide sequence analysis indicated that, in F. tularensis, era constitutes a single gene operon. ORFs aspC and mdh encoding aspartate aminotransferase and malate dehydrogenase,...
