Physical and genetic characterization of the glnA--glnG region of the Escherichia coli chromosome.
Open accessAbstract
We have cloned and characterized a fragment of the Escherichia coli chromosome spanning glnA, the structural gene for glutamine synthetase (L-glutamate:ammonia ligase (ADP-forming), EC 6.3.1.2]. The fragment also carriers glnG, whose product is necessary for regulation of glnA expression, and a previously unidentified gene whose function we have not discovered. Transcription of glnA and the newly identified gene occurs divergently from a region between the two genes. Transcription of glnA proceeds toward glnG, which is transcribed in the same direction. A region of DNA between glnA and glnG contains genetic information whose loss may result in the inability to reduce expression of glnA and other operons in response to ammonia (the GlnC phenotype).

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
