  • Title: Identification of the Escherichia coli cya gene product as authentic adenylate cyclase.
    Author: Danchin A, Guiso N, Roy A, Ullmann A.
    Journal: J Mol Biol; 1984 May 25; 175(3):403-8. PubMed ID: 6427472.
    Abstract:
    The Escherichia coli cya gene has been fused in the same register with the lacZ gene. The corresponding hybrid cya-lacZ gene is expressed as a bifunctional protein that exhibits both adenylate cyclase and beta-galactosidase activities, thus proving that cya is the structural gene for adenylate cyclase. The hybrid protein was purified to homogeneity and has been used to raise antibodies that recognize wild-type adenylate cyclase. Finally, the protein has been submitted to amino acid sequence analysis. It has been found that the first ten amino acids fit the predicted sequence obtained from DNA sequence analysis, thus substantiating the prediction that the cya translation initiation codon is UUG .
