Abstract excerpt
The Escherichia coli open reading frame f413, which has the potential to code for a polypeptide homologous to cardiolipin (CL) synthase, has been cloned. Its polypeptide product has a molecular mass of 48 kDa, is membrane-bound, and catalyzes CL formation but does not hydrolyze CL. A comparison of the sequences predicted for the polypeptides encoded by f413 and cls indicates that the N-terminal residues specified...
