Nucleotide sequence of the Bacillus licheniformis ATCC 10716 dat gene and comparison of the predicted amino acid sequence with those of other bacterial species

摘要

The gene encoding the D-aminotransferase from Bacillus licheniformis was cloned and the complete DNA sequence was determined. The deduced D-aminotransferase protein sequence, consists of 283 amino acids and shows a high degree of homology with other Bacillus D-aminotransferases, branched chain aminotransferase of Escherichia coli and the 4-aminobenzoate-4-deoxychorismate lyase of Bacillus subtilis and Escherichia coli.
