    We have determined the physical location of the ilvEDAC genes on the restriction cleavage map of the ilv region of Escherichia coli K-12 by two methods: (i) heteroduplex and endonuclease cleavage analysis of hybrid phages carrying genetically defined parts of the ilv cluster and (ii) complementation analysis and enzyme assays to determine ilv gene expression from hybrid plasmids containing DNA restriction fragments of the transducing phage lambdah80dilv. The ilvEDA and ilvC operons occupy 2.4 and 0.9 megadalton sequences of DNA, respectively, and are separated by a region of 0.6-0.75 megadalton. The ilvD region, specifying dihydroxy acid dehydrase, has a maximum coding capacity of about 55,000 daltons of polypeptide. Our results confirm that ilvC is transcribed clockwise on the E. coli K-12 map, in the same direction as ilaEDA. A secondary lambda attachment site within ilvC has been located on a small (0.45 megadalton) EcoRI fragment. Our results are compared to other physical studies of ilv DNA.
