The cds gene of Escherichia coli codes for the enzyme CDP-diglyceride synthetase. We now report the construction of plasmids which carry cds. Using these plasmids, we have sequenced 1274 base pairs of DNA, including a 750-base pair open reading frame which is the coding region of the cds gene. This DNA sequence allows the deduction of the primary peptide sequence for CDP-diglyceride synthetase. The protein is very hydrophobic, and, assuming no processing or modification, has a molecular weight of 27,570. Furthermore, there is a second open reading frame immediately after cds, implying that cds may be part of an operon. We have also constructed a runaway replication cds-plasmid that directs approximately 50-fold overproduction of CDP-diglyceride synthetase. This overproduction has been utilized in the purification of the enzyme to homogeneity, as described in the accompanying paper (Sparrow, C.P., and Raetz, C.R.H., J. Biol. Chem. 260, 12084-12091). Finally, the molecular cloning work reported herein allows the exact placement of the cds gene on the E. coli genetic map.
