Sequences of ccpA and two downstream Bacillus megaterium genes with homology to the motAB operon from Bacillus subtilis.
A regulatory gene with 69% nucleotide sequence identity to the Bacillus subtilis ccpA was cloned from Bacillus megaterium by complementation of a mutant relieved of catabolite repression. Sequencing of the gene and its adjacent regions revealed two additional open reading frames (ORFs) downstream from ccpA. These three genes are presumably in one operon. ORF1 and ORF2 show homology to two genes downstream from ccpA in B. subtilis, as well as to the B. subtilis motA and motB genes, respectively.
