Abstract excerpt
The sequence of the tyrosinase gene cloned from Marinomonas mediterranea is reported. It is the second tyrosinase cloned from a Gram negative bacterium. Its size is higher than that of Gram positive tyrosinases from Streptomyces, and more similar to the eukaryotic enzymes. Its sequence shares the features of copper-binding sites found in all tyrosinases. Based in the comparison of tyrosinases from all types of...
