Received July 27, 1981.
The nucleotide sequence of the promoter distal region of the atp (or unc) operon of Escherichia coli has been determined. It encodes the
, ß and
subunits of the ATP-synthase complex and includes a noncoding sequence in which transcription of the operon probably terminates. This work completes the nucleotide sequence of the operon which contains nine genes: eight encode structural proteins of the ATP-synthase complex; a ninth, the first in the operon, may be a pilot for assembly. The genes for the
and ß subunits have evolved from a common ancestor.
