Abstract
The Methanosarcina barkeri serC gene, encoding phosphoserine aminotran sferase, was cloned by complementation of an Escherichia coli serC mut ant, and its nucleotide sequence was determined. The M. barkeri SerC p rotein shares significant homology with other known SerC proteins. E. coli serC hosts carrying the cloned gene express phosphoserine aminotr ansferase activity, verifying the function of this gene.
