Lemaire and Muller-Hill recently reported the nucleotide sequence of the gal T gene of Escherichia coli and deduced the amino acid sequence of galactose 1-phosphate uridylyltransferase (EC 2.7. 7.12)(1). We determined the nucleotide sequence of this gene by application of the Sanger dideoxy method to EcoRV, Sau3A, RsaI and PvuII restriction fragments. Approximately 80% of thesequence was determined in both strands, and the remaining sequences determined in single strands were confirmed by partial sequences published earlier (2-4). Thesequence we obtained was similar to that reported by Lemaire and Muller-Hill, with the exception of the GC-rich region between nucleotides 79 and 114. The sequencing gels for this region were ambiguous owing to band compression caused by extensive secondary structure. We overcame the ambiguities by using dITP in place of dGTP in the sequencing reactions. This procedure clarified the sequencing gels and allowed the following nucleotide sequence to be determined in both strands. Comparison with thesequence of Lemaire and Muller-Hill (1)
