Identification of a gene for a rubrerythrin/nigerythrin-like protein in Spirillum volutans by using amino acid sequence data from mass spectrometry and NH2-terminal sequencing.

Abstract excerpt

A hydrogen peroxide-resistant mutant of the catalase-negative microaerophile, Spirillum volutans, constitutively expresses a 21.5 kDa protein that is undetectable and non-inducible in the wild-type cells. Part of the gene that encodes the protein was cloned using amino acid sequence data obtained by both mass spectrometry and NH2-terminal sequencing. The deduced 158 amino acid polypeptide shows high relatedness...
