The dnaA genes of Salmonella typhimurium and Serratia marcescens, which complemented the temperature-sensitive dnaA46 mutation of Escherichia coli, were cloned and sequenced. They were very homologous to the dnaA gene of E. coli. The 63 N-terminal amino acids and the 333 C-terminal amino acids of the corresponding DnaA proteins were identical. The region in between, corresponding to 71 amino acids in E. coli, exhibited a number of changes. This variable region coincided with a nonhomologous region found in the comparison of E. coli dnaA and Bacillus subtilis "dnaA" genes. The regions upstream of the genes were also homologous. The ribosome-binding area, one of the promoters, the DnaA protein-binding site, and many GATC sites (Dam methyltransferase-recognition sequence) were conserved in these three enteric bacteria.
鼠伤寒沙门氏菌和粘质沙雷氏菌的dnaA基因可互补大肠杆菌温度敏感型dnaA46突变,对其进行了克隆和测序。它们与大肠杆菌的dnaA基因高度同源。相应DnaA蛋白的63个N端氨基酸和333个C端氨基酸相同。两者之间对应于大肠杆菌71个氨基酸的区域出现了一些变化。这个可变区域与大肠杆菌dnaA基因和枯草芽孢杆菌“dnaA”基因比较中发现的一个非同源区域重合。这些基因上游的区域也具有同源性。核糖体结合区域、其中一个启动子、DnaA蛋白结合位点以及许多GATC位点(Dam甲基转移酶识别序列)在这三种肠道细菌中保守。
