The gene for the longest known Escherichia coli protein is a member of helicase superfamily II.

Journal of bacteriology - 1 Oct 1995

Abstract excerpt

The Escherichia coli rnt gene, which encodes the RNA-processing enzyme RNase T, is cotranscribed with a downstream gene. Complete sequencing of this gene indicates that its coding region encompasses 1,538 amino acids, making it the longest known protein in E. coli. The gene (tentatively termed lh...
