Abstract

The nucleotide sequence of the downstream flanking region of the mreD gene of Escherichia coli was determined. Two open reading frames (ORFs) were found, a 591-bp orfE and a 1467-bp orfF. Based on the sequence, it is suggested that the three mre genes (encoding the murein pathway), mreB, mreC and mreD, and these two ORFs possibly form an operon.
