title: The nucleotide sequence of tufB and four nearby tRNA structural genes of Escherichia coli.
abstract: In order to approach some of the problems suggested by the presence of two genes for EF-Tu in Escherichia coli we have determined the nucleotide sequence of tufB and its genetic surroundings. Comparison with the known amino acid sequence of EF-Tu (Arai et al., 1980) and with the tufA nucleotide sequence (Yokota et al., 1980) allows some conclusions to be made regarding possible relationships between tufA and tufB. We also report the sequence of four tRNA structural genes (thrU, tyrU, glyT and thrT) that lie immediately to the 5' side of tufB.
