The primary structure of rabbit liver cytosolic serine hydroxymethyltransferase. 1987

F Martini, and S Angelaccio, and S Pascarella, and D Barra, and F Bossa, and V Schirch

The complete amino acid sequence of cytosolic serine hydroxymethyltransferase from rabbit liver was determined. The sequence was determined from analysis of peptides isolated from tryptic and cyanogen bromide cleavages of the enzyme. Special procedures were used to isolate and sequence the C-terminal and blocked N-terminal peptides. Each of the four identical subunits of the enzyme consists of 483 residues. The sequence could be easily aligned with the sequence of Escherichia coli serine hydroxymethyltransferase. The primary structural homology between the rabbit and E. coli enzymes is about 42%. The importance of the primary and predicted secondary structural homology between the two enzymes is discussed.

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
