Abstract

LytB of Escherichia coli is an essential gene involved in penicillin tolerance and the stringent response. The lytB gene of Campylobacter jejuni was cloned and characterized. It could complement a temperature-sensitive E. coli lytB mutant. The C. jejuni lytB gene encodes a protein of 277 amino acids that has 34, 36 and 40% amino acid identity with the LytB proteins of E. coli, Haemophilus influenzae, and Synechocystis sp. PCC6803, respectively. The lytB gene is situated between the aroA gene and a gene that encodes ribosomal protein S1.
