title: Cloning, sequencing and functional expression in Escherichia coli of the gene for a P-type Na(+)-ATPase of a facultatively anaerobic alkaliphile, Exiguobacterium aurantiacum.
abstract: Cloning and sequencing of the gene encoding a P-type Na(+)-ATPase of a facultatively anaerobic alkaliphile, Exiguobacterium aurantiacum, were conducted. The structural gene was composed of 2628 nucleotides. The deduced amino acid sequence (876 amino acid residues; Mr, 96,664) suggested that the enzyme possesses 10 membrane-spanning regions. When the amino acid sequences of the four putative membrane regions, M4, M5, M6 and M8, of BL77/1 ATPase were aligned with those of fungal Na(+)-ATPase, Na(+)/K(+)-ATPase, H(+)-ATPases and sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca(2+)-ATPase, it exhibited the highest homology with Ca(2+)-ATPase except M5 region. By the transformation of Escherichia coli with the expression vector (pQE30) containing the ATPase gene, the enzyme was functionally expressed in E. coli membranes.
