Abstract excerpt
A genetic screen was devised to obtain plasmid-borne rpoA alleles exhibiting partial or no complementation of the chromosomal Escherichia coli rpoA341 allele responsible for a pleiotropic phenotype. Nine of the ten mutants obtained carried single base pair deletions within the 3' end of rpoA resulting in frameshifting into a 72 codon +1 orf extending from within codon L262 and terminating 16 bp downstream of the...
