Nucleotide sequence of the streptothricin-acetyltransferase gene sat-2

The streptothricin resistance (St) gene of the transposon Tn1826 was cloned and sequenced. A 534 bp open reading frame could be translated starting with a GTG at position 506 (178 amino acids) or with an ATG at position 518 (174 amino acids). Translation as proposed would result in a polypeptide of...

Description
Summary:The streptothricin resistance (St) gene of the transposon Tn1826 was cloned and sequenced. A 534 bp open reading frame could be translated starting with a GTG at position 506 (178 amino acids) or with an ATG at position 518 (174 amino acids). Translation as proposed would result in a polypeptide of predicted size 19670 daltons identical to the C-terminal part of the translation product of another St gene (sat-1).
