Cloning of the glutamyl-tRNA synthetase (gltX) gene from Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

ABSTRACT: The glutamyl-tRNA synthetase (gltX) gene from Pseudomonas aeruginosa was identified. A plasmid containing a 2.3-kb insert complemented the temperature-sensitive gltX mutation of Escherichia coli JP1449, and GltX activity was demonstrated. The inferred amino acid sequence of this gene showed 50.6% identity with GltX from Rhizobium meliloti.
