摘要
The integrally membrane-bound, proton-pumping inorganic pyrophosphate (PPi) synthase in phototrophic bacteria is hitherto the only described alternative to the ATP synthase in biological electron transport phosphorylation. We have identified and sequenced the first gene coding for a pyrophosphate synthase. The deduced protein contains 660 amino acid residues and 15 putative membrane-spanning segments. It is homologous to the vacuolar pyrophosphatases from plants. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
