The complete amino acid sequence of 3‐dehydroquinate synthase of Escherichia coli K 12

Abstract
The complete amino acid sequence of the Escherichia coli 3-dehydroquinate synthase has been determined by a combined nucleotide and direct amino acid sequencing strategy. E. coli 3-dehydroquinate synthase is 362 amino acids long and has a calculated M r of 38 880. Analysis of the aroB nucleotide sequence and its 5'- and 3'-flanking regions has identified the aroB promoter elements and a possible 3'-terminator site.
