title: Nucleotide sequence of alkyl-dihydroxyacetonephosphate synthase cDNA from Dictyostelium discoideum.
abstract: The nucleotide sequence is reported of alkyl-dihydroxyacetonephosphate synthase cDNA from the cellular slime mold Dictyostelium discoideum. The open reading frame encodes a protein of 611 amino acids which shows a 33% amino acid identity to the human enzyme. This D. discoideum homolog carries a variant of the peroxisomal targeting signal type 1 at its C-terminus (PKL). Expression of the cDNA in Escherichia coli yielded an enzymatically active protein.
