The pi-histidine factor of Salmonella typhimurium: a demonstration that pi-histidine factor integrates into the chromosome.

Abstract:

:The Salmonella typhimurium pi-histidine episome was identified by Ames et al. (2) in an unstable partial revertant of a deletion mutation-containing strain, hisG203. HisG203 lacks the histidine operator, promoter, and part of the first structural gene. In this paper, we study some properties of pi factor and demonstrate a low frequency of pi integration into the chromosome at or near the histidine region.

  • Suppressed nonsense mutations in the araC gene of Escherichia coli provide three novel variant proteins.

    abstract::A total of 400 suppressible mutations have been isolated in the araC gene of Escherichia coli. Based on deletion mapping, growth patterns when suppressed, and intragenic recombination, 37 mutants have been determined to contain unique mutations.
