High impact information on ptsJ

The mutations lay in a newly defined gene, termed ptsJ, which mapped on the S. typhimurium chromosome between the ptsHI operon and the cysA gene [1].
Five ORFs were found within this region, one of which is likely to be the putative regulatory gene, ptsJ, that corresponds in map position to a gene which when mutated allows expression of a cryptic Enzyme I of the phosphotransferase system [2].
