The atp operon: nucleotide sequence of the genes for the gamma, beta, and epsilon subunits of Escherichia coli ATP synthase.

The nucleotide sequence of the promoter distal region of the atp (or unc) operon of Escherichia coli has been determined. It encodes the gamma, beta and epsilon subunits of the ATP-synthase complex and includes a noncoding sequence in which transcription of the operon probably terminates. This work completes the nucleotide sequence of the operon which contains nine genes: eight encode structural proteins of the ATP-synthase complex; a ninth, the first in the operon, may be a pilot for assembly. The genes for the alpha and beta subunits have evolved from a common ancestor.

The atp operon: nucleotide sequence of the promoter and the genes for the membrane proteins, and the delta subunit of Escherichia coli ATP-synthase.

The nucleotide sequence of the promoter region and the first five genes of the atp (or unc) operon of Escherichia coli has been determined. The first proposed gene in the operon contains four AUA codons and may be poorly expressed; it encodes a basic but yet hydrophobic protein which could function as a pilot protein for assembly of ATP-synthase. The three genes that follow are structural genes for proteins comprising the proton channel of the enzyme. The fifth gene codes for the delta-subunit of F(1)-ATPase.

The atp operon: nucleotide sequence of the region encoding the alpha-subunit of Escherichia coli ATP-synthase.

Part of the atp (or unc) operon encoding the alpha, beta, gamma, delta, and epsilon subunits of Escherichia coli ATP-synthase has been cloned into the plasmid pACYC 184. The DNA coding for the largest of these proteins, the alphas subunit, has been sequenced by cloning into the bacteriophage M13 and sequencing with dideoxy nucleotide chain terminators. It comprises 1539 nucleotides corresponding to a protein of 513 amino acids.
