Abstract excerpt
The tyrosyl-tRNA synthetase gene (tyrZ) from Thiobacillus ferrooxidans, an acidophilic, autotrophic, gram-negative bacterium that participates in bioleaching of minerals, was cloned and sequenced. The encoded polypeptide (TyrRZ) is 407 amino acids in length (molecular mass; 38 kDa). The predicted protein sequence has an extensive overall identity (44%) to the sequence of the protein encoded by the Bacillus...
