Rs. Munson et K. Sasaki, PROTEIN-D, A PUTATIVE IMMUNOGLOBULIN D-BINDING PROTEIN PRODUCED BY HAEMOPHILUS-INFLUENZAE, IS GLYCEROPHOSPHODIESTER PHOSPHODIESTERASE, Journal of bacteriology, 175(14), 1993, pp. 4569-4571
Protein D of Haemophilus influenzae is 67% identical to the periplasmi
c glycerophosphodiester phosphodiesterase of Escherichia coli. Extract
s prepared from E. coli expressing recombinant protein D had an 8- to
22-fold-higher specific activity of glycerophosphodiester phosphodiest
erase compared with extracts of E. coli not expressing protein D.
