Abstract excerpt
PCR reactions were carried out on the genomic DNA of M. xanthus, a soil bacterium capable of differentiation to form fruiting bodies, using oligonucleotides representing highly conserved regions of eukaryotic protein serine/threonine kinases. A gene (pkn1) thus cloned contains an ORF of 693 amino acid residues whose amino-terminal domain shows significant sequence similarity with the catalytic domain of...
