ABSTRACT We have determined the nucleotide sequence of the blaSgene encoding the carbapenem-hydrolyzing L-1 β-lactamase fromStenotrophomonas maltophilia GN12873. Analysis of the DNA and deduced amino acid sequences identified a product of 290 amino acids. Comparisons of the L-1 amino acid sequence with those of other zinc β-lactamases showed 88.6% identity with the L-1 enzyme fromS. maltophilia IID1275 and less than 20% identity with other class B metalloenzymes.

An almost full-length cDNA coding for pre-uteroglobin from hare lung was cloned and sequenced. The derived amino acid sequence indicated that hare pre-uteroglobin contained 91 amino acids, including a signal peptide of 21 residues. Comparison of the nucleotide sequence of hare pre-uteroglobin cDNA with that previously reported for the rabbit gene indicated five silent point substitutions and six others leading to amino acid changes in the coding region. The untranslated regions of both pre-uteroglobin mRNAs were very similar. The amino acid changes observed are discussed in relation to the different progesterone-binding abilities of both homologous proteins.

The amino acid sequences of the cytochromes c-551 from three species of Pseudomonas have been determined. Each resembles the protein from Pseudomonas strain P6009 (now known to be Pseudomonas aeruginosa, not Pseudomonas fluorescens) in containing 82 amino acids in a single peptide chain, with a haem group covalently attached to cysteine residues 12 and 15. In all four sequences 43 residues are identical. Although by bacteriological criteria the organisms are closely related, the differences between pairs of sequences range from 22% to 39%. These values should be compared with the differences in the sequence of mitochondrial cytochrome c between mammals and amphibians (about 18%) or between mammals and insects (about 33%). Detailed evidence for the amino acid sequences of the proteins has been deposited as Supplementary Publication SUP 50015 at the National Lending Library for Science and Technology, Boston Spa, Yorks.

Protein is the polypeptide chain of amino-acid sequence. Proteins of all species, from bacteria to humans, are made up from the same set of 20 standard amino acids. In order to carry out their function they must take a particular shape which is known as fold. All the enzymes hormones and antibodies are also proteins. To treat certain toxic-microorganism or invader we need certain antigen-antibody complex in the organisms. Just as amino-acid sequence forms the proteins, the polynucleotide sequence forms the nucleic acids. The gene is a part of DNA macromolecule responsible for the synthesis of protein chains. There are 20 amino-acids responsible for the formation of protein and 4 nucleotides responsible for the formation of DNA (RNA). Therefore, we can say that protein text is written in 20-letter and the DNA (RNA) text is written in 4-letter language. The information contained in genes in DNA is transferred to mRNA during transcription.The Himalayan Physics Vol. 4, No. 4, 2013 Page: 65-74 Uploaded date: 12/23/2013

Collagenase Gene

The DNA encoding the collagenase of Vibrio alginolyticus was cloned, and its complete nucleotide sequence was determined. When the cloned gene was ligated to pUC18, the Escherichia coli expression vector, bacteria carrying the gene exhibited both collagenase antigen and collagenase activity. The open reading frame from the ATG initiation codon was 2442 bp in length for the collagenase structural gene. The amino acid sequence, deduced from the nucleotide sequence, revealed that the mature collagenase consists of 739 amino acids with an Mr of 81875. The amino acid sequences of 20 polypeptide fragments were completely identical with the deduced amino acid sequences of the collagenase gene. The amino acid composition predicted from the DNA sequence was similar to the chemically determined composition of purified collagenase reported previously. The analyses of both the DNA and amino acid sequences of the collagenase gene were rigorously performed, but we could not detect any significant sequence similarity to other collagenases.

The amino acid sequences of 48 peptides obtained from a chymotryptic digest of the mould acid protease, penicillopepsin (EC 3.4.23.7), have been determined. These peptides established the sequences of 26 unique fragments of up to 28 residues in length. The 28-residue fragment was identified as the N-terminal region. The C-terminal region is represented by a 13-residue fragment. The amino acids contained in these fragments account for some 85% of the residues of the enzyme.

In this study, we conducted the cloning and sequencing gene encoding FLS from the two green and purple Trung Du tea cultivars. The length of FLS gene is 996 bp, encodes 331 amino acid. Results of FLS gene analysis showed that green and purple Trung Du cultivars has 13 nucleotide variants total as compare with FLS sequence published on Genbank. Nucleotide sequence differences lead to change amino acid sequence of key functional motives in FLS like motif characterizes the 2OG-Fe (II) oxygenase superfamily, the PxxxIRxxx-EQP motif at the N-terminal (18→29) determines the FLS activity, the CPQ/RPxLAL motif) is the binding site of 2-oxoglutarate. How amino acid position changes affect FLS activity need further research. FLS gene isolates are sources for further research to aim elucidating the function of this enzyme.

Experimental data for determining a) the amino acid sequences of eight tryptic peptides containing 95 amino acids and b) the order of the tryptic peptides are given. Combining the data of this and of a previous paper the complete amino acid sequence of the coat protein of the TMV strain Holmes rib grass (HRG) is established (Fig. 5). It is compared with three other TMV strains the sequences of which have been determined before (Fig. 6).Differences and similarities between the sequences of the four TMV strains are discussed. HRG has a deletion of two amino acids and it is the most distantly related of the four TMV strains. When the sequence of HRG is compared to that of any of the other strains it turns out that in each case more than 50% of the 156 positions contain different amino acids (Fig. 7).The number of positions with the same amino acid in all strains and mutants so far studied is 30 per cent. These positions are not randomly distributed but clustered mainly in two regions. This finding probably reflects the restriction of amino acid exchanges by the spatial structure of the viral rod.
