Abstract excerpt
This report describes the characterization and phylogenetic analysis of the deduced amino acid sequences of methionine aminopeptidase 2 (MetAP-2) enzymes from microsporidian species and genotypes of the genus Encephalitozoon. Fragments of DNA encoding 318 to 335 amino acid residues of the MetAP-2 genes were isolated from genomic DNA prepared from cultured spores of Encephalitozoon hellem, Encephalitozoon...
