Abstract

The primary structure of nucleoside diphosphate (NDP) kinase II, one of the two isozymes found in spinach leaves, has been deduced from its cDNA sequence. NDP kinase II comprises 233 amino acid residues and has a molecular mass of 26 107 Da, which is larger than that of the purified NDP kinase II subunits (18 kDa) by about 8 kDa, suggesting that NDP kinase II might be post-translationally processed. Homology was found between the sequence of spinach NDP kinase II, and the sequences of spinach NDP kinase I, rat NDP kinases α and β, Dictyostelium discoideum NDP kinase, the human Nm23-H1 and Nm23-H2 proteins and the awd protein of Drosophila melanogaster.
