Microcin J25 (MccJ25) is a small peptide antibiotic produced by an
Escherichia coli strain isolated from human feces. The genetic determinants
for MccJ25 synthesis and immunity have been cloned from the low-copy-number
wild-type plasmid pTUC1OO into the compatible vectors pBR322 and pACYC184.
Physical and phenotypical analysis of insertion mutations and
complementation tests defined three contiguous genes involved in MccJ25
production which span a region of about 2.2 kb. Immunity to the antibiotic
is provided by an additional gene adjacent to the production region.
