The gene for ribosomal protein L25 (rplY) maps at 47.3 min near nalA in Escherichia coli K-12.
A temperature sensitive mutant, termed JE1306, derived from Escherichia coli strain PA3092 was found to have an alteration in the ribosomal protein L25. Crosses with various Hfr strains and transductions with P1 kc phage have revealed that the mutation maps at 47.3 min between nalA and fpk, in a region where no ribosomal protein gene has so far been located. The gene affected by this mutation is most probably the structural gene for protein L25 (rplY), because a strain heteromerozygous for the region shows both wild type and mutant forms of protein L25.
