Abstract

The dnaK and dnaJ genes were isolated as a cluster from a purple non-sulfur phototrophic bacterium, Rhodopseudomonas species No. 7 by a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) based method. The deduced products of dnaK (631 amino acids) and dnaJ (379 amino acids) were 67% and 56% identical to the respective Escherichia coli gene products. The functions of DnaK and DnaJ could be confirmed by complementation of the respective E. coli mutants.
