The gyrA gene of Campylobacter jejuni UA580, which encodes the A subunit of DNA gyrase, was cloned and its nucleotide sequence was determined. An open reading frame of 2,589 nucleotides was identified, which could code for a polypeptide of 863 amino acids with a M(r) of 97 kDa. Both the nucleotide sequence and the putative amino acid sequence show ca. 50% identity with those of other gyrA genes from gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. The locations of the gyrA gene on genome maps of both C ...[more]
