Cloning, sequencing and analysis of partial segment of cholesterol oxidase (cho) encoding gene from Streptomyces luridus using PCR technique is described. The primers used for PCR were designed on the basis of inter-species homology, and the pTZ57R/T vector was used for molecular cloning. The sequencing results lead to identification of the oxidoreductase domain of cho enzyme with 818 nucleotide length encoding 272 amino acids, which was submitted in NCBI with DQ480365 accession number. The submitted sequence includes complete FAD-linked reductase C terminal domain with 170 amino acids size and N-terminal of GMC-oxidoreductase domain of cho enzyme.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
