title: Sequence and molecular analysis of the rpoA cluster genes from Xanthomonas campestris pv. campestris.
abstract: The Xanthomonas campestris rpsM (S13)-rpsK (S11)-rpsD (S4)-rpoA (alpha)-rplQ (L17) cluster, encoding RNA polymerase alpha-subunit and four ribosomal proteins, reside in a 3164-bp DNA region. The N-terminal sequence of the authentic alpha-protein determined chemically matches that predicted from the nucleotide sequence. rplQ is monocistronic, instead of being co-transcribed with the other genes as in Escherichia coli. Antiserum against the His-tagged alpha-protein cross-reacted with the E. coli alpha-protein.
