Abstract excerpt
We cloned the gene for a novel Nudix hydrolase in the cyanobacterium Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002 and termed it nuhA. The deduced amino acid sequence of NuhA included the Nudix motif, GX(5)EX(7)RELXEEXGV, which is common to Nudix hydrolases, and in addition, a proline at the 15th amino acid from the C-terminus of the Nudix motif, which is characteristic of the subfamily of ADP-ribose pyrophosphatases. The...
