Abstract
We isolated three overlapping clones from a DNA genomic library of Ent amoeba histolytica strain HM1:IMSS, whose translated nucleotide (nt) s equence shows similarities of 51, 48 and 47% with the amino acid (aa) sequences reported for the pyruvate phosphate dikinases from Bacteroid es symbiosus, maize and Flaveria trinervia, respectively. The reading frame determined codes for a protein of 886 aa.
