title: Molecular cloning and overexpression of the glucosamine synthetase gene from Escherichia coli.
abstract: A recombinant plasmid carrying a 4.6 kg restriction endonuclease NcoI-ClaI fragment of genomic DNA from Escherichia coli K12 was constructed. This plasmid complements the glmS mutation. Subcloning into pUC18 gave plasmid pGM10 encoding the structural gene of glucosamine synthetase, as judged by overexpression of enzyme activity and the isolation in high yield of the pure protein.
