Five of the genes required for phosphorylative catabolism of glucose in Pseudomonas aeruginosa were ordered on two different chromosomal fragments. Analysis of a previously isolated 6.0-kb EcoRI fragment containing three structural genes showed that the genes were present on a 4.6-kb fragment in the order glucose-binding protein (gltB)-glucokinase (glk)-6-phosphogluconate dehydratase (edd). Two genes, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (zwf) and 2-keto-3-deoxy-6-phosphogluconate aldolase (eda), shown by transductional analysis to be linked to gltB and edd, were cloned on a separate 11-kb BamHI chromosomal DNA fragment and then subcloned and ordered on a 7-kb fragment. The 6.0-kb EcoRI fragment had been shown to complement a regulatory mutation, hexR, which caused noninducibility of four glucose catabolic enzymes. In this study, hexR was mapped coincident with edd. A second regulatory function, hexC, was cloned within a 0.6-kb fragment contiguous to the edd gene but containing none of the structural genes. The phenotypic effect of the hexC locus, when present on a multicopy plasmid, was elevated expression of glucokinase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, 6-phosphogluconate dehydratase, and 2-keto-3-deoxy-6-phosphogluconate aldolase activities in the absence of inducer. |
