Abstract excerpt
From the genomic library of Brevibacterium ammoniagenes ATCC6872, the purE locus encoding 5'-phosphoribosyl-5-aminoimidazole (AIR) carboxylase (EC 4.1.1.21) was cloned and its nucleotide sequence was determined. From the sequence analysis, two distinct open reading frames (ORFs) in the sequence of the purE locus were identified as purK and purE genes (purK-purE). An in vivo translation experiment reconfirmed the...
