Beta subunit of mitochondrial F1-ATPase from the fission yeast. Deduced sequence of the wild type protein and identification of a mutation that increases nucleotide binding.

Abstract excerpt

The Schizosaccharomyces pombe nuclear gene, atp2, encoding the beta subunit of the mitochondrial ATP synthase, was sequenced and found to contain a 1575-bp open reading frame. Two adjacent transcription-initiation sites were found at positions 34 and 44 nucleotides upstream of the translation-initiation codon. The deduced polypeptide sequence was composed of 525 amino acid residues (molecular mass = 56875 Da)....
