Characterization of a nopaline-induced gene for a 40 kDa protein in the nopaline catabolic (noc) region of Ti plasmid pTiC58.
The nopaline catabolic region (noc) in Ti plasmid pTiC58 codes for functions in the utilization of nopaline. The enzymes are identified, except for a 40 kDa protein (40k gene). The sequence reveals a polypeptide with no homology to other known proteins, except for similarities in two out of three motifs characteristic for D-isomer specific 2-hydroxyacid dehydrogenases.
