Abstract excerpt
In Trypanosoma brucei (stock 427) genes encoding the glycolytic enzyme pyruvate kinase are present on two homologous chromosomes. We have cloned and characterized one of the alleles. Two large, tandemly arranged open reading frames were found, each coding for a pyruvate kinase polypeptide of 498 amino acids. The gene sequences differ at 15 positions, resulting in five amino acid substitutions. The calculated...
