title: Cloning and nucleotide sequence of Bacillus stearothermophilus pyruvate carboxylase.
abstract: A gene for prokaryotic pyruvate carboxylase (PC) was cloned from Bacillus stearothermophilus. It has an open reading frame of 3441 base pairs which can code for a protein of 128,353 Da. Not only the molecular size and domain organization but also the deduced amino acid sequence of B. stearothermophilus PC are similar to those of eukaryotic PCs.
