Abstract
The complete nucleotide sequence of a putative glutathione synthetase gene ( gsh II) has been determined from Anaplasma centrale. The predicted 308 amino acid protein has a molecular weight of 34,222 and is 32% identical to the enzyme, glutathione synthetase (EC 6.3.2.3), encoded by Escherichia coli gsh II. The previously proposed ATP-binding site is not highly conserved. The putative glutathione synthetase gene ( gsh II) is preceded by an unassigned open reading frame. Downstream of gsh II is the 5′ region of an open reading frame encoding a protein with significant similarity to bacterial D-alanine:D-alanine ligases (ADP forming) (EC 6.3.2.4). The predicted partial amino acid sequence is 33% identical to the amino acid sequence of the protein encoded by the E. coli ddl gene.
