title: Cloning and sequencing of glutamate mutase component E from Clostridium tetanomorphum.
abstract: The nucleotide sequence of the large subunit E of glutamate mutase of Clostridium tetanomorphum was determined. The protein consists of 483 amino acids and is not made in a precursor form, thus excluding the possibility of subunit E being a pyruvoyl enzyme. It shows no homology to any other protein in the database, and while binding coenzyme B12, a conspicuous B12 binding motif, shared amongst other proteins, is not detectable at the sequence level.
