- Abstract
- The aroB gene encoding dehydroquinate synthase of Corynebacterium glutamicum has been cloned by complementation of an aro auxotrophic mutant of Escherichia coli with the genomic DNA library. The recombinant plasmid contained a 1.4-kb fragment that complemented the Escherichia coli dehydroquinate-synthase-deficient mutant. The nucleotide sequences of the subcloned DNA has been determined. The sequences contain an open reading frame of 360 codons, from which a protein with a molecular mass of about 38 kDa could be predicted. This is consistent with the size of the AroB protein expressed in E. coli. Alignment of different prokaryotic and eukaryotic aroB gene products reveals an overall identity ranging from 29 to 57% and the presence of several highly conserved regions.
