T. Kasberg et al., CLONING, CHARACTERIZATION, AND SEQUENCE-ANALYSIS OF THE CLCE GENE ENCODING THE MALEYLACETATE REDUCTASE OF PSEUDOMONAS SP STRAIN B13, Journal of bacteriology, 179(11), 1997, pp. 3801-3803
A 3,167-bp PstI fragment of genomic DNA from Pseudomonas sp. strain B1
3 nas cloned and sequenced. The gene clcE consists of 1,059 nucleotide
s encoding a protein of 352 amino acids with a calculated mass of 37,7
69 Da which showed maleylacetate reductase activity. The protein had s
ignificant sequence similarities with the polypeptides encoded by tcbF
of pP51 (59.4% identical positions), tfdF of pJP4 (55.1%), and tftE o
f Burkholderia cepacia AC1100 (53.1%). The function of TcbF as maleyla
cetate reductase was established by an enzyme assay.
