Notes:
Pleiotropic mutations (xcp) affecting secretion of proteins in Pseudomonas aeruginosa have been previously characterized and mapped at 0 min, 55 min and 65 min. Genomic libraries of this organism have been constructed and the genes xcp-5 and xcp-54, located at the 55 min region, were cloned using the adjacent met allele as a marker, and complementation of xcp strains. From our linkage and cloning analysis, the most probable gene order in this region appears to be pyrD., xcp-5/xcp-54/met-9011/oru-314/trpF/leu-10. Restriction mapping and transposon (Tn 1725) insertion mutagenesis demonstrated that: (i) the overall size of DNA necessary for xcp expression was 9 kb, (ii) the two loci are not adjacent on the chromosome, and (iii) the two loci are expressed independently. The xcp-5 gene has been subcloned on a 4 kb Eco RI fragment.
