Nucleotide sequence of the murE gene of Escherichia coli.
The nucleotide sequence of the murE gene encoding the diaminopimelic acid adding enzyme of Escherichia coli is reported. The coding region consisted of 1413 base pairs and was separated from the ftsI (penicillin-binding protein 3) gene by 61 base pairs. The deduced primary structure of MurE comprised 471 amino acid residues with a molecular mass of 50.6 kilodaltons.
