T. Dairi et Y. Asano, CLONING, NUCLEOTIDE SEQUENCING, AND EXPRESSION OF AN OPINE DEHYDROGENASE GENE FROM ARTHROBACTER SP STRAIN 1C, Applied and environmental microbiology, 61(8), 1995, pp. 3169-3171
The gene coding for opine dehydrogenase from Arthrobacter sp. strain 1
C was cloned onto plasmid pBluescript KS(-), and the nucleotide sequen
ce of the 1,077-bp open reading frame consisting of 359 codons was ide
ntified as the odh gene. Transformed Escherichia coli cells overproduc
ed NAD(+)-dependent opine dehydrogenase under control of the promoter
of the lac gene on pBluescript KS(-).
