ABSTRACT Genes encoding SHV-1 and SHV-2 were sequenced by different methods. Nucleotide sequencing of the coding strand by standard dideoxy-chain termination methods resulted in errors in the interpretation of the nucleotide sequence and the derived amino acid sequence in two main regions which corresponded to nucleotide and amino acid changes that had been reported previously. The automated thermal cycling method was clearly superior and consistently resulted in the correct sequences for these genes.

ABSTRACT The sequences of the bla TEM genes encoding TEM-92 in Proteus mirabilis and Providencia stuartii isolates were determined and were found to be identical. Except for positions 218 (Lys-6) and 512 (Lys-104), the nucleotide sequence of bla TEM-92 was identical to that ofbla TEM-20, including the sequence of the promoter region harboring a 135-bp deletion combined with a G-162→T substitution. The deduced amino acid sequence of TEM-92 differed from that of TEM-52 by the presence of a substitution (Gln-6→Lys) in the peptide signal.

Terminal deoxynucleotidyltransferase exists in multiple Mr forms, all apparently generated from a single polypeptide of 62kDa. On isolation and purification, the smallest catalytically active protein of this enzyme consists of two subunits, alpha (12kDa) and beta (30kDa). Recently a complementary-DNA nucleotide sequence has been reported for a portion of the enzyme from human lymphoblast. We have pinpointed the locations of the alpha- and beta-subunits within the elucidated nucleotide sequence. From these data, the portions of the nucleotide sequence coding for the catalytically important area of the transferase can be estimated. Here the amino acid sequence of a number of tryptic peptides from calf alpha- and beta-subunits is presented. Because of the striking homology between the amino acid sequence of the calf enzyme and that predicted for human lymphoblast enzyme, it is possible for us to conclude that the alpha-subunit was generated from the C-terminus of the precursor protein and the beta-subunit was non-overlapping and proximal.

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
