Cloning of the glutamyl-tRNA synthetase (gltX) gene from Pseudomonas aeruginosa

J Bacteriol. 1999 Jun;181(11):3582-6. doi: 10.1128/JB.181.11.3582-3586.1999.

Abstract

The glutamyl-tRNA synthetase (gltX) gene from Pseudomonas aeruginosa was identified. A plasmid containing a 2.3-kb insert complemented the temperature-sensitive gltX mutation of Escherichia coli JP1449, and GltX activity was demonstrated. The inferred amino acid sequence of this gene showed 50.6% identity with GltX from Rhizobium meliloti.
