title: The carboxyphosphonoenolpyruvate synthase-encoding gene from the bialaphos-producing organism Streptomyces hygroscopicus.
abstract: The nucleotide (nt) sequence of the Streptomyces hygroscopicus gene encoding carboxyphosphonoenolpyruvate (CPEP) synthase, that catalyzes a transesterification between phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) and phosphonoformate (PF) in the bialaphos biosynthetic pathway, has been determined. The amino-acid sequence deduced from the nt sequence is similar to several eukaryotic 2-phospho-D-glycerate hydrolases (EC 4.2.1.11).
