title: A 10 kb nucleotide sequence at the 5' flanking region (32 degrees) of srfAA of the Bacillus subtilis chromosome.
abstract: The nucleotide sequence of approximately 10 kb at the 5' flanking region (32 degrees) of srfAA of the Bacillus subtilis chromosome was determined. Eleven putative ORFs were identified. Three of them (orf6, orf7 and orf8) coincided with known B. subtilis genes (comJ, comI and tlpC) encoding a competence-specific protein, a DNA-entry nuclease and a transducer-like protein, respectively. The products of two other ORFs showed similarity to GlnP of Escherichia coli (orf1) and beta-glucosidase A of B. polymyxa (orf5).
