The genes encoding xylose isomerase (xylA) and xylulose kinase (xylB) from the thermophilic anaerobe Thermoanaerobacter ethanolicus were found to constitute an operon with the transcription initiation site 169 nucleotides upstream from the previously assigned (K. Dekker, H. Yamagata, K. Sakaguchi, and S. Udaka, Agric. Biol. Chem. 55:221-227, 1991) promoter region. The bicistronic xylAB mRNA was processed by cleavage within the 5'-terminal portion of the XylB-coding sequence. Transcription of xyl ...[more]
