Abstract
We have cloned a cDNA for vacuolar proton-translocating pyrophosphatase of Chara corallina that is one of the closest green algae to the land plants. The deduced protein consists of 793 amino acid residues. Its sequence is 71 % identical to the H+-pyrophosphatases of land plants, and is less than 46% identical to those of marine alga and phototrophic bacterium. (C) 1999 Els evier Science B.V.
