Abstract excerpt
Genome sequencing of the thermophilic archaeon Pyrococcus horikoshii OT3 revealed a gene which had high sequence similarity to the gene encoding the carboxypeptidase of Sulfolobus solfataricus and also to that encoding the aminoacylase from Bacillus stearothermophilus. The gene from P. horikoshii comprises an open reading frame of 1,164 bp with an ATG initiation codon and a TGA termination codon, encoding a...
