Protein Variants Comment Organism
additional information Pichia stipitis xylulokinase gene (XYL3) is PCR-amplified from Pichia stipitis (strain UC7) genomic DNA, genes of interest are cloned downstream of a tac promoter and upstream of a transcription termination sequence into the medium copy vector pLOI3809, transforming plasmid into a DELTAxylB mutant Escherichia coli strain (PC07), determine whether an alternative xylulokinase (one not expected to act on xylitol) could functionally replace XylB in Escherichia coli, Xyl3 shares only 23% amino acid sequence identity with Escherichia coli XylB Escherichia coli
