Role of the C-terminal extension in a bacterial tyrosinase.

Abstract excerpt

The well studied bacterial tyrosinases from the Streptomyces sp. bacteria are distinguishable from their eukaryotic counterparts by the absence of a C-terminal extension. In the present study, we report that the tyrosinase from the bacterium Verrucomicrobium spinosum also has such a C-terminal extension, thus making it distinct from the Streptomyces enzymes. The entire tyrosinase gene from V. spinosum codes for a...
