Disease relevance of gutQ

We have sequenced downstream of the last previously sequenced gene of the glucitol operon (gutABDMRQ) in E. coli and have found that gutQ is the last gene of this operon [1].

Chemical compound and disease context of gutQ

Nucleotide sequence and expression of the gutQ gene within the glucitol operon of Escherichia coli [2].

Biological context of gutQ

Downstream of the gutQ gene is found a palindromic unit (PU or REP sequence), followed by a large open reading frame of 1515 (or possibly 1590) bps transcribed in the direction opposite to that of the gut operon [1].
