The isolation and nucleotide sequence of the pyruvate decarboxylase gene from Kluyveromyces marxianus

Curr Genet. 1993 Sep;24(3):274-7. doi: 10.1007/BF00351804.

Abstract

We have determined the nucleotide sequence of a 2360-basepair (bp) region of the Kluyveromyces marxianus genome containing the structural gene for the enzyme pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC). Comparison of the deduced amino-acid sequence of this gene to that of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae PDC genes reveals extensive homology including a motif common to thiamin diphosphate-dependent enzymes.
