  • Title: Nucleotide sequencing and expression of the fadL gene involved in long-chain fatty acid transport in Escherichia coli.
    Author: Said B, Ghosn CR, Vu L, Nunn WD.
    Journal: Mol Microbiol; 1988 May; 2(3):363-70. PubMed ID: 2840553.
    Abstract:
    The fadL gene of Escherichia coli codes for an outer membrane protein involved in long-chain fatty acid transport. Its product was purified from outer membrane proteins. We determined the nucleotide sequence of a 2.8-kb chromosomal DNA segment that contains the fadL gene. The fadL gene consists of a 1149-nucleotide coding region and contains a highly hydrophobic polypeptide of 383 amino acids with a calculated molecular weight of 42,380. We have used S1-mapping analysis to identify the transcription initiation site. A region exhibiting extensive dyad symmetry and perfect homology to the catabolite activator protein binding site was detected.
