Cloning and characterization of ftsZ and pyrF from the archaeon Thermoplasma acidophilum.

Biochemical and biophysical research communications - 7 Sept 2000

Abstract excerpt

To characterize cytoskeletal components of archaea, the ftsZ gene from Thermoplasma acidophilum was cloned and sequenced. In T. acidophilum ftsZ, which is involved in cell division, was found to be in an operon with the pyrF gene, which encodes orotidine-5'-monophosphate decarboxylase (ODC), an essential enzyme in pyrimidine biosynthesis. Both ftsZ and pyrF from T. acidophilum were expressed in Escherichia coli...
