Genetic studies of the phs locus of Escherichia coli, a mutation causing pleiotropic lesions in metabolism and pH homeostasis.

In Escherichia coli a pleiotropic mutation, phs, has been reported to affect Na+-linked metabolic functions and pH homeostasis. The phs mutation was previously mapped by its proximity to a met marker, presumed to be metB at 89 min. We have shown that a second mutation to auxotrophy, cymX, which is satisfied by either methionine or cysteine, is closely linked to phs. The cymX and phs lesions map close to trkB and rpsL at 73.5 min and we postulate that they are alleles of cysG and crp, respectively. The basis of the pH sensitivity of DZ3 is discussed in the light of this new information.[1]
