Abstract excerpt
The metA gene encoding homoserine acetyltransferase, the first enzyme of the methionine biosynthetic pathway, was isolated from a pMT1-based corynebacterium glutamicum gene library via complementation of an Escherichia coli metA mutant. A DNA-sequence analysis of the cloned DNA is identified an open-reading frame of 1,137 bp which encodes a protein with the molecular weight of 41,380 comprising 379 amino acids....
