Abstract

In a transposition mutant of TK24, the usually glucose-repressible expression of a heterologous α-amylase gene () became resistant to glucose repression. The transposon had inserted into an ORF called which encodes a 274 aa product sharing significant sequence similarities with various phosphatases that act on small phosphorylated substrates. was transcribed as a monocistronic mRNA and its transcription was enhanced at the transition phase. Because its transcriptional and putative translational start points coincide, is likely to be translated in the absence of a conventional RBS. The -disrupted mutant is characterized by early growth arrest in glucose-grown cultures and by partial relief of glucose repression of expression.
