Gene organization in the ada-rplL region of Streptomyces virginiae.
The gene organization of a 7.4-kb region of the Streptomyces virginiae (Sv) chromosome was determined. The predicted open reading frames (ORFs) and their predicted products, in sequence order, were (i) ada, encoding adenosine deaminase [EC 3.5.4.4], (ii) aat, encoding a protein homologous to aspartate aminotransferase [EC 2.6.1.1], (iii) secE, encoding a protein involved in protein secretion, (iv) vbrA, encoding a NusG-like protein involved in antitermination of transcription as described by Okamoto et al. [J. Biol. Chem. 267 (1992) 1093-1098], and (v) rplKAJL, encoding the large subunits of the ribosomal proteins L11, L1, L10 and L12. Six of the ORFs (secE-rplL) were oriented in the same direction, but the other two (ada and aat) had the opposite orientation. The gene organization of the secE-rplL region in Sv was identical to that in Escherichia coli.
