Cloning and nucleotide sequence of the anaerobically regulated pepT gene of Salmonella typhimurium.


ABSTRACT: The anaerobically regulated pepT gene of Salmonella typhimurium has been cloned in pBR328. Strains carrying the pepT plasmid, pJG17, overproduce peptidase T by approximately 70-fold. The nucleotide sequence of a 2.5-kb region including pepT has been determined. The sequence codes for a protein of 44,855 Da, consistent with a molecular weight of approximately 46,000 for peptidase T (as determined by sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and gel filtration). The N-terminal amino acid sequence of peptidase T purified from a pJG17-containing strain matches that predicted by the nucleotide sequence. A plasmid carrying an anaerobically regulated pepT::lacZ transcriptional fusion contains only 165 bp 5' to the start of translation. This region contains a sequence highly homologous to that identified in Escherichia coli as the site of action of the FNR protein, a positive regulator of anaerobic gene expression. A region of the deduced amino acid sequence of peptidase T is similar to segments of Pseudomonas carboxypeptidase G2, the E. coli peptidase encoded by the iap gene, and E. coli peptidase D.
