  • Title: Hyaluronate synthase: cloning and sequencing of the gene from Streptococcus sp.
    Author: Lansing M, Lellig S, Mausolf A, Martini I, Crescenzi F, O'Regan M, Prehm P.
    Journal: Biochem J; 1993 Jan 01; 289 ( Pt 1)(Pt 1):179-84. PubMed ID: 8424756.
    Abstract:
    The complete nucleotide sequence of hyaluronate synthase from Streptococcus sp. and its flanking regions is presented. The gene locus was designated has. Southern-blotting results suggested that the gene was conserved in hyaluronate-producing streptococci. A putative translation-initiation codon was identified and the open reading frame consists of 1566 bp, specifying a protein of 56 kDa. Sequences resembling the promoter and ribosome-binding site of Gram-positive organisms are found upstream of the synthase. The predicted amino-acid sequence reveals the presence of a 35-residue signal peptide. The sequence has some similarity to bacterial peptide-binding proteins.
