Abstract excerpt
A search to identify proteins with high affinity for choline-containing pneumococcal cell walls (choline-binding proteins) has permitted the localization, cloning, sequencing, and overexpression of a gene (pce), coding for a protein (Pce) that liberates phosphorylcholine from purified cell walls of Streptococcus pneumoniae. The pce gene of the pneumococcal strain R6 encodes a protein of 627 amino acids with a...
