title: DNA sequences of the D-serine deaminase control region and N-terminal portion of the structural gene.
abstract: We determined the DNA sequence of the D-serine deaminase promoter region and of the N-terminal region of the structural gene. There are possibilities in the promoter for secondary structure and for initiation recognition sequences, and there is an open reading frame. The N-terminal sequence for the structural gene confirms that part of the amino acid sequence previously determined by E. Schlitz and W. Schmitt (FEBS Lett. 134:57-62, 1981), including the active site of the enzyme, and spans the two regions unresolved by their work.
