Genetic analysis of the dTDP-rhamnose biosynthesis region of the Escherichia coli VW187 (O7:K1) rfb gene cluster: identification of functional homologs of rfbB and rfbA in the rff cluster and correct location of the rffE gene.

abstract：:Two key elements that are thought to be required for replication initiation in eubacteria are the DnaA protein, a trans-acting factor, and the replication origin, a cis-acting element. As a first step in studying the replication initiation process in mycobacteria, we have isolated a 4-kb chromosomal DNA fragment from ...
