The gene adh encoding a NAD-dependent alcohol dehydrogenase from the novel strain RC3 of Sulfolobus sp. was cloned and sequenced. Both the adh gene from Sulfolobus sp. strain RC3 and the alcohol dehydrogenase gene from Sulfolobus solfataricus (DSM 1617) were expressed at a high level in Escherichia coli, and the recombinant enzymes were purified, characterized, and compared. Only a few amino acid replacements were responsible for the different kinetic and physicochemical features investigated.

Abstract
The gene adh encoding a NAD-dependent alcohol dehydrogenase from the novel strain RC3 of Sulfolobus sp. was cloned and sequenced. Both the adh gene from Sulfolobus sp. strain RC3 and the alcohol dehydrogenase gene from Sulfolobus solfataricus (DSM 1617) were expressed at a high level in Escherichia coli, and the recombinant enzymes were purified, characterized, and compared. Only a few amino acid replacements were responsible for the different kinetic and physicochemical features investigated.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
