title: Nucleotide sequence of a three gene cluster in Neisseria Gonorrhoeae encoding ribosomal proteins S6, S18, and L9.
abstract: A cluster of three genes, rpsF, rpsR, and rpII, encoding the ribosomal proteins S6, S18, and L9, respectively, were cloned and sequenced from Neisseria gonorrhoeae. The order of the genes within the cluster was established as rpsF-rpsR-rpII. Within this cluster an additional open reading frame of unknown identity spanning 108 bp was found between rpsF and rpsR. The putative amino acid sequences deduced from all three genes show a high degree of homology to other bacterial ribosomal proteins.
