  • Title: Close linkage of the genes serC (for phosphohydroxy pyruvate transaminase) and serS (for seryl-transfer ribonucleic acid synthetase) in Escherichia coli K-12.
    Author: Clarke SJ, Low B, Konigsberg WH.
    Journal: J Bacteriol; 1973 Mar; 113(3):1091-5. PubMed ID: 4570768.
    Abstract:
    Escherichia coli strain K28, isolated after nitrosoguanidine mutagenesis, was found to be auxotrophic for serine. It was also temperature sensitive for growth as a result of producing an altered seryl-transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA) synthetase (EC 6.1.1.11, l-serine: tRNA ligase [AMP]). The auxotrophy was caused by a mutation in the structural gene for phosphohydroxy-pyruvate transaminase (serC), which was distinct from, but closely linked to, the structural gene for seryl-tRNA synthetase (serS). We conclude that the relevant genes are in the order gal-serS-serC-aroA.
