Abstract

The pstS gene, encoding the Pseudomonas aeruginosa phosphate-binding protein, was cloned onto a cosmid vector into Escherichia coli, and localized by subcloning, mapping the insertion site of Tn501 in a P. aeruginosa pstS::Tn501 mutant, and hybridization to an oligonucleotide pool synthesized according to the aminoterminal amino acid sequence of the purified protein. The cloned pstS gene was transferred to P. aeruginosa pstS mutants. The P. aeruoginosa phosphate-binding protein was also expressed and secreted into the periplasm of E. coli pstS mutants.
