The nucleotide sequence (1579 bp) of tetracycline-resistance determinant and flanking regions of the cloned 5.1 kb DNA fragment from Bacillus subtilis GSY908 chromosome (Sakaguchi, R. and Shishido, K. (1988) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 949, 49-57) were determined and compared with those of the B. subtilis tetracycline-resistance plasmid pNS1981. The tetracycline-resistance structural (tet) genes of the B. subtilis GSY908 chromosome (tetBS908) and pNS1981 (tetpNS1981) were found to be highly homologous (80% identical). Both tet genes were composed of 1374 bp and 458 amino-acid residues initiating from a GTG codon preceded by a ribosome-binding site (RBS-2). Upstream from tetBS908 there exists a short open reading frame (20 amino acids) initiating from a ATG codon preceded by its own RBS (RBS-1). This leader sequence was also highly homologous to that of tetpNS1981 except for a deletion of one bp between the RBS-1 and the ATG codon.
测定了来自枯草芽孢杆菌GSY908染色体的5.1 kb克隆DNA片段的四环素抗性决定簇及其侧翼区域的核苷酸序列(1579 bp)(坂口,R.和宍戸,K.(1988年)《生物化学与生物物理学报》949,49 - 57),并与枯草芽孢杆菌四环素抗性质粒pNS1981的序列进行了比较。发现枯草芽孢杆菌GSY908染色体(tetBS908)和pNS1981(tetpNS1981)的四环素抗性结构(tet)基因高度同源(80%相同)。两个tet基因均由1374 bp和458个氨基酸残基组成,起始于一个GTG密码子,该密码子之前有一个核糖体结合位点(RBS - 2)。在tetBS908上游存在一个短的开放阅读框(20个氨基酸),起始于一个ATG密码子,该密码子之前有其自身的RBS(RBS - 1)。除了RBS - 1和ATG密码子之间缺失一个碱基对之外,该前导序列与tetpNS1981的前导序列也高度同源。
