Abstract excerpt
We have isolated and characterized a gene for a putative protein-disulfide oxidoreductase (phdsb) in the archaeon Pyrococcus horikoshii. The open reading frame of phdsb encodes a protein of 170 amino acids with an NH(2)-terminal extension similar to the bacterial signal peptides. The putative mature region of PhDsb includes a sequence motif, Cys-Pro-His-Cys (CPHC), that is conserved in members of the bacterial...
