Sequencing, cloning, and high-level expression of the pfp gene, encoding a PP(i)-dependent phosphofructokinase from the extremely thermophilic eubacterium Dictyoglomus thermophilum.
The sequencing, cloning, and expression of the pfp gene from Dictyoglomus thermophilum, which consists of 1,041 bp and encodes a pyrophosphate-dependent phosphofructokinase, are described. A phylogenetic analysis indicates that the enzyme is closely related to the pyrophosphate-dependent enzyme from Thermoproteus tenax. The recombinant and native enzymes share a high degree of similarity for most properties examined.
