Abstract
The Sporosarcina psychrophilia pyrB gene, which encodes aspartate transcarbamylase (ATcase), was cloned on Sau3AI restriction endonuclease fragment inserted into pUC19 plasmid vector, S. psychrophilia pyrB gene was expressed in Escherichia coli pyrB mutant for the complementation test. The sequence of 2,606 nucleotides including putative pyrB gene was determined. The region contained one full open reading frame (ORf) and two partial ORFs. The deduced amino acid sequence of the second ORF showed 59% identity with that of Bacillus caldolyticus ATCase. The first and third partial ORFs were closely related to the uracil permease (pyrP) and dihydroorotase (pyrC), respectively. Besides, potential terminator, antiterminator, and anti-antiterminator structures were found in the intergenic region between pyrP and pyrB. These results suggested that S. psychrophilia pyrimidine nucleotide biosynthesis genes are clustered as well as other Bacillus sp. Over-expressed product of pyrB encoding ATCase was purified and analyzed by the SDS-PAGE. The purified PyrB protein turned out to be molecular mass of 27 kDa and showed ATCase activity.
