Microcin J25 (MccJ25) is a small peptide antibiotic produced by an Escherichia coli strain isolated from human feces. The genetic determinants for MccJ25 synthesis and immunity have been cloned from the low-copy-number wild-type plasmid pTUC1OO into the compatible vectors pBR322 and pACYC184. Physical and phenotypical analysis of insertion mutations and complementation tests defined three contiguous genes involved in MccJ25 production which span a region of about 2.2 kb. Immunity to the antibiotic is provided by an additional gene adjacent to the production region.
微菌素J25(MccJ25)是一种由从人类粪便中分离出的大肠杆菌菌株产生的小肽抗生素。MccJ25合成和免疫的遗传决定因素已从低拷贝数野生型质粒pTUC100克隆到相容载体pBR322和pACYC184中。插入突变的物理和表型分析以及互补试验确定了参与MccJ25产生的三个相邻基因,它们跨越约2.2 kb的区域。抗生素免疫由生产区域附近的另一个基因提供。
