Abstract excerpt
A degP (htrA)-like gene of Bradyrhizobium japonicum was identified immediately downstream of two genes (hspB and hspC) coding for small heat-shock proteins. All three genes are oriented in the same direction and are separated by only 85 and 72 bp, and a heat-inducible transcript covering hspB, hspC, and degP was detected by RT-PCR. These results show that the genes are organized in an operon. Two mutants, a degP...
