Disease relevance of cutE

Restriction enzyme analysis of the cloned DNA revealed that this 2.3-kilobase EcoRI fragment included the copper transport (cutE) gene in E. coli [1].

High impact information on cutE

This recombinant plasmid transformed cutE, allowing wild-type growth of transformants on medium containing copper sulfate [2].
The copper-sensitive/temperature-sensitive phenotype of the Escherichia coli cutE mutant has been complemented by cloning wild-type genomic DNA into the plasmid vector pACYC184 and selecting transformants on medium containing 4 mM copper sulfate and chloramphenicol [2].
