Site sms(radA)

• Name: sms(radA)
• Type: Renamed or Defunct Genes
• Mnemonic: sensitivity to methylmethane sulfonate
• Left End Point: 99.66
• Right End Point: 99.69
• Direction: >

• Comment:
  • SAME AS radA. cotranscribed with serB. Muts not serine-requiring, appears to be unrelated to serB in function. seq. simil. with Lon and RecA, ATP-dependent proteases
