title: DNA sequence of the gene (tyrP) encoding the tyrosine-specific transport system of Escherichia coli.
abstract: The nucleotide sequence of 1,947 bases of DNA containing the tyrP structural gene was determined, and an open reading frame of 1,260 nucleotides was identified. The putative structural gene encodes an extremely hydrophobic protein which comprises 404 amino acids, 70% of which are nonpolar, and which has a molecular weight of 43,261.
