1.4.9.1 expressed in Escherichia coli 1.4.9.1 expressed in Escherichia coli BL21 cells 1.4.9.1 expressed in Rhodobacter sphaeroides 1.4.9.1 Expression in Escherichia coli, the production of knock out-mutants unable to catabolize 2-phenylethylamine is carried out by mutagenesis. 1.4.9.1 genes qhpA, qhpB, and qhpC encoding the alpha, beta, and gamma subunits of QHNDH, respectively. The structural genes encoding the three QHNDH subunits constitute an operon harboring six apparent open reading frames (ORFs) that are transcribed in a coordinated manner upon addition of amines to the culture medium. qhpADCBEF genes constitute a hexacistronic operon. DNA and amino acid sequence determination and analysis, and reverse transcription PCR expression analysis.
