Cloning and nucleotide sequence of the Salmonella typhimurium LT2 gnd gene and its homology with the corresponding sequence of Escherichia coli K12.
The complete nucleotide sequence of the Salmonella strain LT2 gnd gene for 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase was determined. The gene contains 1404 bases and encodes a 468 amino acid polypeptide, which is the same as for Escherichia coli K12. The DNA sequence shows 14.8% difference between the two and the amino acid sequence 3.6% difference. Changes are mostly in the third codon base and most of the amino acid changes are conservative.
