RESUMO

The protein products encoded by the Escherichia coli deoR and cytR structural genes have been identified based on results obtained from E. coli maxicells harboring (i) recombinant plasmids carrying wild-type deoR and cytR genes, (ii) deletion derivatives of the deoR+ and cytR+ plasmids, (iii) plasmids containing site-specific mutations in the deoR and cytR structural genes, and (iv) plasmids which have transposon Tn1000 inserted into the deoR and cytR structural genes. Analysis of the protein profiles obtained from all the maxicell experiments demonstrated that the deoR gene encodes a protein with a subunit molecular weight of 30,500 and that the product of the cytR gene is a protein with a subunit molecular weight of 37,000.
