title: Sequence of the phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase-encoding cDNA from the rumen anaerobic fungus Neocallimastix frontalis: comparison of the amino acid sequence with animals and yeast.
abstract: The nucleotide sequence of the cDNA of the phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase-encoding gene from the fungus Neocallimastix frontalis, was determined. The deduced amino acid sequence (608 residues) and the predicted protein structure were compared to their counterparts in animals and yeast. Catalytic regions (substrate-binding site and nucleotide-binding domains) are highly conserved among fungal and animal organisms. The yeast sequence showed no similarity to the fungal sequence.
