Abstract: | Two cDNAs which correspond to two very similar Class I aldolases have been isolated from a pea (Pisum sativum L.) cDNA library. With the exception of one codon they match the experimentally determined N-terminal sequence of a pea chloroplast aldolase. The deduced C-terminal sequence of one of these clones is unique among Class I aldolases. The deduced C-terminus of the other is more like the C-terminus of other eucaryotic Class I aldolases. Comparisons of sequence homology suggest that the pea chloroplast isozymes are only marginally more closely related to the anaerobically induced plant aldolases than to aldolases from animals. |
