Deletions of the 3' flanking DNA region of the glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) structural gene from Escherichia coli K-12, have been produced on a plasmid that carries the complete gdhA gene. Those deletions include part of the repetitive extragenic palindromic (REP) sequences proposed by Stern et al. [Cell 37 (1984) 1015-1026], as a novel and major feature of the bacterial genome. The effect of these deletions on the final GDH level in the cell, has been determined. A broader compilation, analysis and alternative functions of the REP sequences, is also presented. © 1985.
