Abstract excerpt
The Escherichia coli surE gene is co-transcribed with pcm, encoding the L-isoaspartyl protein repair methyltransferase, and is highly conserved among both the Eubacteria and the Archaea; however, no biochemical function has yet been identified for this gene. Isoaspartyl accumulation during statio...
