CGSC Strain#: 5760
Strain Designation: JE5550      Source of Strain: Y. Hirota
Other Designations: F506/JE5519
Sex: F' Episome/Plasmid: F506
   Plasmid Markers/Mutations: pps , manA
Chromosomal Markers: lacY1, tsx-29, glnV44(AS), galK2(Oc), manA4, aroD6, gyrA12(NalR), recA1, rpsL700(strR), mtl-1, argE3(Oc)
Strain Comments:

• galK2(Oc)-- is a GAA(glu) to TAA(ochre) mutation, residue 134. Oller et al.1993. Apparently non-suppressible, since all revertants found were at the ochre site.
• recA1-- : Missense mutation, altered isoelectric point. Sequenced: G to A for Nuc. 720 (Gly 160 Asp).
• galK2(Oc) was formerly called gal₂
• glnV44(AS) was formerly called supE44
• glnV44(AS) was formerly called su⁺_II
• AS = amber(UAG) suppressor
• NalR = Nalidix.acidResist.
• Oc = ochre(UAA) mutation
• strR = streptomycin resist.
