Regulated Operon: pucRJKLM

Genes
Genes Synonyms Direction Genome position Function COG ID Genus clusters
pucR yunI + 3327788..3329383 transcriptional regulator COG2508  
pucJ yunJ + 3329528..3330877 uric acid permease COG2233  
pucK yunK + 3330883..3332175 uric acid permease COG2233  
pucL yunL + 3332188..3333672 uricase COG3195  
pucM yunM + 3333651..3334016 uricase COG2351  

Operon evidence: Northern blotting (6.2 kb transcript)
Reference: Yoshida K, et al. (2003), Beier L, et al. (2002)
Comments: Internal promoter in front of pucJ, leading to a 4.6 kb transcript. Whereas Beier et al. assumed that pucR is transcribed monocistronically, the Northern blotting experiment by Yoshida et al. showed a pucRJKLM transcript.
