Mutant genes of gramicidin S synthetase 1 defective in phenylalanine racemization have the same sequence as the wild gene.

Abstract excerpt

Mutant grs1 genes were cloned and sequenced from the Bacillus brevis Nagano BI-4, C-3, E-1, and E-2 strains, which produce defective gramicidin S synthetase 1 (GS1), lacking racemase activity. Surprisingly, these mutant genes had entirely the same sequence as that of the wild type gene. These mutant strains also produce defective gramicidin S synthetase 2 (GS2), lacking 4'-phosphopantetheine, a prosthetic group...
