title: Growth suppression of Escherichia coli by induction of expression of mammalian genes with transmembrane or ATPase domains.
abstract: Growth inhibition of Escherichia coli host cells is frequently observed when some mammalian genes are induced to express exogenously. To find common features of these mammalian genes, an assay was designed for the isolation of these genes which show growth-inhibitory effect on E. coli by induction of expression. Of 38,000 clones derived from a mouse brain cDNA library, 64 cDNA clones were systematically selected out by this method, of which 45 clones had putative open reading frames encoding proteins with putative membrane-associated regions or ATP-binding/ATPase activities. These results show that a fraction of membrane-associated proteins or ATP-binding/ATPase genes can be isolated from cDNA libraries by our simple method.
