A 7.3 kbp DNA fragment, encompassing the erythromycin (Em) resistance gene (ermE) and a portion of the gene cluster encoding the biosynthetic genes for erythromycin biosynthesis in Saccharopolyspora erythraea (formerly Streptomyces erythraeus) has been cloned in Streptomyces lividans using the plasmid vector pIJ702, and its nucleotide sequence has been determined using a modified dideoxy chain-termination procedure. In particular, we have examined the region immediately 5' of the resistance determinant, where the tandem promoters for ermE overlap the promoters for a divergently transcribed coding sequence (ORF). Disruption of this ORF using an integrational pIJ702-based plasmid vector gave mutants which were specifically blocked in erythromycin biosynthesis, and which accumulated 3-O-alpha-L-mycarosylerythronolide B: this behaviour is identical to that of previously described eryC1 mutants. The eryC1-gene product, a protein of subunit Mr 39,200, is therefore involved either as a structural or as a regulatory gene in the formation of the deoxyamino-sugar desosamine or in its attachment to the macrolide ring.

A cluster of four Azospirillum brasilense histidine biosynthetic genes, hisA, hisB, hisF and hisH, was identified on a 4.5 kb DNA fragment and its organization studied by complementation analysis of Escherichia coli mutations and nucleotide sequence. The nucleotide sequence of a 1.3 kb fragment that complemented the E. coli hisB mutation was determined and an ORF of 624 nucleotides which can code for a protein of 207 amino acids was identified. A significant base sequence homology with the carboxy-terminal moiety of the E. coli hisB gene (0.53) and the Saccharomyces cerevisiae HIS3 gene (0.44), coding for an imidazole glycerolphosphate dehydratase activity was found. The amino acid sequence and composition, the hydropathic profile and the predicted secondary structures of the yeast, E. coli and A. brasilense proteins were compared. The significance of the data presented is discussed.

We have identified a new gene, which we designated gene 31.1, as the nearest upstream neighbour of gene 31. We cloned the 1.03 k.b. EcoRI/BglII fragment of T4 DNA, and expressed both genes using the T7 RNA polymerase/promoter two plasmid system. Gene 31.1 encodes a protein with molecular weight of about 10 kDa, and the C-terminal portion of this gene is the incomplete open reading frame ORF 31.1 determined earlier. Using primer extension sequencing on RNA templates isolated from T4 mot A+ and mot A- infected cells, we have shown that gene 31 has a middle mode mot A-dependent transcript starting at two points and which is initiated from gene's 31 own promoter. Gene 31 is also transcribed from an early upstream promoter into a polycistronic mRNA which covers an early gene 31.1 as well.

A DNA fragment conferring resistance to zinc and cadmium ions in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae was isolated from a library of yeast genomic DNA. Its nucleotide sequence revealed the presence of a single open reading frame (ORF; 1326 bp) having the potential to encode a protein of 442 amino acid residues (molecular mass of 48.3 kDa). A frameshift mutation introduced within the ORF abolished resistance to heavy metal ions, indicating the ORF is required for resistance. Therefore, we termed it the ZRC1 (zinc resistance conferring) gene. The deduced amino acid sequence of the gene product predicts a rather hydrophobic protein with six possible membrane-spanning regions. While multiple copies of the ZRC1 gene enable yeast cells to grow in the presence of 40 mM Zn2+, a level at which wild-type cells cannot survive, the disruption of the chromosomal ZRC1 locus, though not a lethal event, makes cells more sensitive to zinc ions than are wild-type cells.

The nucleotide sequence of a specific region of the mitochondrial plasmid from the Neurospora intermedia Varkud-lc strain was determined. Analysis of the sequence revealed the presence of a long (up to 710 amino acids) ORF. This ORF is almost identical to a previously characterized ORF in the mitochondrial plasmid from the Neurospora crassa Mauriceville-lc strain. When the ORFs from the two plasmids are compared over their entire length of 2,133 bp, only 34 nucleotide substitutions are found (greater than 98% identity). These substitutions result in only nine amino acid replacements in the protein sequences predicted from the two ORFs. Though no function can be assigned to the putative products of these ORFs, their high conservation of nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequence suggest that they are under selective pressure, presumably to preserve the function of some protein.

An abundant 0.9 kb female-specific mRNA in Schistosoma mansoni is thought to code for an egg-shell precursor protein [Bobek et al. (1986) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 83, 5544-5548]. This gene contains two ORFs. A recombinant plasmid was constructed that expresses a fusion protein containing a glycine- and tyrosine-rich polypeptide coded for by one of these ORFs. Antisera raised against homogenates of female, but not of male, S. mansoni recognise this fusion protein, providing direct evidence that this ORF is used by S. mansoni. In comparative Western blots of S. mansoni homogenates from males and females affinity purified antibodies that react with the fusion protein react exclusively with proteins from females, recognising a 28 kDa polypeptide and a smear of immunoreactive material probably caused by oxidative crosslinking. In immunohistology, the affinity purified antibodies react with mature vitelline cells in female schistosomes. The immunoreactive material is localised in the so-called 'vitelline droplets' that are morphologically very similar to 'shell globules', known to contain egg-shell precursors, that are found in Fasciola hepatica. In situ hybridisation shows that the eggshell precursor gene is only transcribed in immature vitelline cells and has a short half-life. Taken together, these observations provide persuasive evidence that the 0.9 kb mRNA codes for an eggshell precursor.

DNA fragments cloned from the methanogenic archaebacterium Methanobrevibacter smithii which complement mutations in the purE and proC genes of E. coli have been sequenced. Sequence analyses, transposon mutagenesis and expression in E. coli minicells indicate that purE and proC complementations result from the synthesis of M. smithii polypeptides with molecular weights of 36,697 and 27,836 respectively. The encoding genes appear to be located in operons. The M. smithii genome contains 69% A/T basepairs (bp) which is reflected in unusual codon usages and intergenic regions containing approximately 85% A/T bp. An insertion element, designated ISM1, was found within the cloned M. smithii DNA located adjacent to the proC complementing region. ISM1 is 1381 bp in length, has 29 bp terminal inverted repeat sequences and contains one major ORF encoded in 87% of the ISM1 sequence. ISM1 is mobile, present in approximately 10 copies per genome and integration duplicates 8 bp at the site of insertion. The duplicated sequences show homology with sequences within the 29 bp terminal repeat sequence of ISM1. Comparison of our data with sequences from halophilic archaebacteria suggests that 5'GAANTTTCA and 5'TTTTAATATAAA may be consensus promoter sequences for archaebacteria. These sequences closely resemble the consensus sequences which precede Drosophila heat-shock genes (Pelham 1982; Davidson et al. 1983). Methanogens appear to employ the eubacterial system of mRNA: 16SrRNA hybridization to ensure initiation of translation; the consensus ribosome binding sequence is 5'AGGTGA.

The F' plasmids ORF-1 (purE+ tsxs proC+ lac+) and F'14 (argE+ metB+ ilv+) contain active regions of recombination, fre I and fre II correspondingly. The plasmid ORF-1 is stable in recF- cells (i.e., with the RecBC pathway of recombination) and decays in rec+ cells (RecBCF pathway) giving two types of product: F+ and plasmid pCK-1 (tsxs proC+ lac+) containing part of the initial DNA. They are extremely instable in the presence of the RecF pathway, (recBC- sbcB-), yielding F+ and plasmid pCK-2 (proC+ lac+). The instability of plasmids depends on a region of homology between the chromosome and the episome. The instability of ORF-1 shows the participation of IS3 elements (alpha 1 beta 3 and alpha 3 beta 1) in the recA, recF-dependent recombinational decay and allows localization of two active sites on the chromosome: fre I1 between purE and tsx markers and fre I2 between tsx and proC. The plasmid F'14, in accordance with published data, is able to yield F+ cells by recA-independent recombination. But eventually this plasmid may undergo a recA, recF-dependent decay. Genetic analysis of these events allows localization of an active point of recombination, freII1, between argE and metB. Another active point is localized inside the F factor. The recA-dependent decay of plasmid F-14 is also excluded on the RecBC pathway (recF- strains).

In an effort to determine if particular regions of the cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) genome could be associated with particular phenotypic characters, strains of CaMV differing markedly in biological properties were recombined to produce hybrids. DNA from pairs of (infectious) genomic clones was cleaved with restriction endonucleases, then mixed and ligated. Recombinants were found by screening transformants in E. coli, or by selection in vivo for infectious hybrids. Recombinants in infected turnip plants were characterized by restriction endonuclease mapping of their DNA to confirm the hybrid genotype. New hybrid strains that induced less severe disease, or conversely, more severe disease than either parent were observed. The experiments revealed that typical disease expression, consisting of leaf chlorosis and mottling, mapped to a genome segment containing open reading frame VI (ORF VI) and the full-length promoter. This basic disease symptom was found to be influenced by other regions of the genome. Insect transmissibility mapped to ORF II. The ability to develop generalized infections in solanaceous plants was tested in hybrids between CaMV CM1841 and a variant that infects Datura stramonium systemically. In this case the systemic mobilization of virus appeared to be controlled by ORF VI, suggesting that this gene may function in cell-to-cell movement of virus.

An alpha-amylase gene from Streptomyces sp WL6 was cloned on a 3.1kb DNA fragment, which was completely sequenced. The 3088 nucleotide sequence obtained contains three putative coding regions in the same orientation. The one corresponding to the structural region of the alpha-amylase gene has a deduced amino acid sequence of 459 residues, showing up to 71% identity to other alpha-amylases. An incomplete ORF was identified upstream the alpha-amylase gene, and the deduced product presents some homology to proteins involved in catabolic regulation.
