Nucleotide sequence of the Bacillus subtilis dnaD gene
Article Abstract:
Cloning of a 104 kb DNA segment of the trp operon-containing Bacillus subtilis chromosome in an artificial, yeast chromosome reveals the presence of the dnaD gene. Nucleotide sequencing reveals that dnaD codes for a protein of 232 amino acids. A putative ribosome-binding site (RBS) is located 7 bp upstream of the start codon, while a putative p-independent transcription terminator is found nearly 30 bp upstream of the RBS. Two open-reading frames that can be cotranscribed with dnaD are present downstream of dnaD.

The Bacillus subtilis dnal gene is part of the dnaB operon
Article Abstract:
The genes regulating DNA replication in Bacillus subtilis in various environmental conditions have been identified. A mutation of the dnaI gene, dnaI2, was thought to be a controller of replication when the organism experiences non-viable temperatures. The gene has been located and mapped on the B. subtilis chromosome to show that the mutation involves substitutions on the nucleotide sequence. The wild type gene was found to be part of a sequence that also codes for dnaB.

Mapping of the 150kb spoIIIC-pheA region of the Bacillus subtilis chromosome using Long Accurate PCR and three yeast artificial chromosomes
Article Abstract:
The 150kb spoIIIC-pheA region of Bacillus subtilis chromosome was cloned and sequenced by Long Accurate (LA) polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Amplification of the sequenced genes involves the generation of eight random sequence tags from yeast artificial chromosome PFGE-purified deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). The chromosome mapping technique efficiently generated sufficient DNA segments for the sequencing of Bacillus subtilis 150kb spoIIIC-pheA region.
