A gene located just upstream of the treYZ operon was isolated from Arthrobacter sp. strain Q36. The gene, designated treX, encoded an 823-amino acid protein. The amino acid sequence of the protein had 50% identity with the TreX protein (isoamylase) from Sulfolobus acidocaldarius ATCC 33909 which has a treZXY operon on the genome. We suggest that Arthrobacter treX is an isoamylase gene, and that it is a component of a treXYZ operon.
从节杆菌属菌株Q36中分离出一个位于treYZ操纵子上游的基因。该基因命名为treX,编码一个含有823个氨基酸的蛋白质。该蛋白质的氨基酸序列与嗜酸嗜热栖热菌ATCC 33909的TreX蛋白(异淀粉酶)具有50%的同一性,嗜酸嗜热栖热菌的基因组上有一个treZXY操纵子。我们认为节杆菌treX是一个异淀粉酶基因,并且它是treXYZ操纵子的一个组成部分。
