چکیده
The 102 amino acid residues of CNBr 4, the largest of 5 cyanogen bromide peptides from the Lactobacillus casei thymidylate synthetase were completely sequenced by means of limited tryptic, tryptic, chymotryptic, and staphylococcal protease peptides. CNBr 4 contains both of the cysteines in an enzyme subunit, with the 5-fluorodeoxyuridylate-reactive cysteine at residue 198 and the other at residue 244.

Cloning and Expression of the Gene Encoding LactobaciZZus casei Folylpoly-y-glutamate Synthetase in Escherichia coli and Determination of Its Primary Structure*
A genomic library of Lactobacillus casei DNA containing 10,000 individual clones was constructed in the plasmid pUC13. The gene encoding the L. casei folylpolyglutamate synthetase was isolated from the library by complementation of a folC mutant of Escherichia coli. The gene was expressed in E. coli from its own promoter and produced amplified folylpolyglutamate synthetase activity with propert...

We have subjected 12 different codons of a synthetic Lactobacillus casei thymidylate synthase (TS) gene to saturation site-directed mutagenesis to create amino acid "replacement sets" at each of those positions. The target residues were chosen because they are highly conserved and because they are important for the structure and function of the protein as indicated by solution and structural st...

Cyanogen bromide treatment of thymidylate synthetase of Lactobacillus casei, which had been converted to a ternary complex with [2-14c] FdUMP and 5,10-methylene-tetrahydrofolate followed by S-carboxymethylation, yielded at least four visible peptide bands, the largest with a molecular weight of about 13,000, on polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis in sodium dodecyl sulfate-urea. Identical results...

In this study, the cDNA Growth Hormone (cGH) of the Belugasturgeon (Husohuso) and Russian sturgeon (Acipensergueldenstaedtii) were cloned and sequenced, and phylogenetic relationships were examined using nucleic acid and amino acid sequences. The nucleotide sequence of the Beluga GH has an open reading frame of 645 nucleotides encoding a protein 214 amino acid residues. The signal peptide cleav...
