Cloned(Commentary)

Cloned (Comment) Organism
the yebU gene is cloned as a partial and as a fulllength sequence with the respective purposes of creating a knockout strain and expressing recombinant YebU protein. Full-length YebU protein with a C-terminal histidine-tag is expressed in Escherichia coli Escherichia coli

S-adenosyl-L-methionine + cytosine1407 in 16S rRNA Escherichia coli nucleotide C1407 is located at a functionally active region of the 30 S subunit interface close to the P site. YebU-directed methylation of this nucleotide seems to be conserved in bacteria S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + 5-methylcytosine1407 in 16S rRNA

General Information

General Information Comment Organism
malfunction inactivation of the yebU gene leads to loss of methylation at C1407 in 16S rRNA. yebU knockout strains display slower growth and reduced fitness in competition with wild-type cells (at 37°C and 42°C) Escherichia coli
