Isolation and characterization of the UDP-glucose 4'-epimerase-encoding gene, galE, from Brucella abortus 2308.

Gene - 20 Nov 1997

Scupham A J, Triplett E W

Abstract excerpt

The UDP-glucose 4'-epimerase-encoding gene, galE or exoB, was isolated from Brucella abortus 2308 by complementation of an exoB mutant of Sinorhizobium meliloti. Confirmation of the identity was done by constructing an in-frame deletion of 660 bp with galE of the B. abortus genome by marker exchange. The resulting galE mutant lacked UDP-glucose 4'-epimerase activity. This activity was restored by in trans...
