Molecular cloning, characterization, and chromosomal localization of dapF, the Escherichia coli gene for diaminopimelate epimerase.

The Escherichia coli dapF gene was isolated from a cosmid library as a result of screening for clones overproducing diaminopimelate epimerase. Insertional mutagenesis was performed on the cloned dapF gene with a mini-Mu transposon, leading to chloramphenicol resistance. One of these insertions was transferred onto the chromosome by a double-recombination event, allowing us to obtain a dapF mutant. This mutant accumulated large amounts of LL-diaminopimelate, confirming the blockage in the step catalyzed by the dapF product, but did not require meso-diaminopimelate for growth. The dapF gene was localized in the 85-min region of the E. coli chromosome between cya and uvrD.[1]
