The genes encoding amicyanin and the beta-subunit of methylamine dehydrogenase (MADH) from Thiobacillus versutus have been cloned and sequenced. The organization of these genes makes it likely that they are coordinately expressed and it supports earlier findings that the blue copper protein amicyanin is involved in electron transport from methylamine to oxygen. The amino acid sequence deduced from the nucleotide sequence of the amicyanin-encoding gene is in agreement with the published protein sequence. The gene codes for a pre-protein with a 25-amino-acid-long signal peptide. The amicyanin gene could be expressed efficiently in Escherichia coli. The protein was extracted with the periplasmic fraction, indicating that pre-amicyanin is translocated across the inner membrane of E. coli. Sequence studies on the purified beta-subunit of MADH confirm the amino acid sequence deduced from the nucleotide sequence of the corresponding gene. The latter codes for a pre-protein with an unusually long (56 amino acids) leader peptide. The sequencing results strongly suggest that pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ) or pro-PQQ is not the co-factor of MADH.

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
