Abstract excerpt
Acylphosphatase (AcP) activity in prokaryotes was classically attributed to some aspecific acid phosphatases. We identified an open reading frame for a putative AcP in the b0968 Escherichia coli gene and purified the recombinant enzyme after checking by RT-PCR that it was indeed expressed. EcoAcP has a predicted typical fold of the AcP family but displays a very low specific activity and a high structural...
