Popis: Pyrophosphate-dependent phosphofructokinase (PPi-PFK) gene from Entamoeba histolytica was cloned from its genomic library and sequenced. The open reading frame has 1149 by and codes for a protein of 41.5 kDa. The deduced amino acid sequence of E. histolytica PPi-PFK has 25 to 28% identity to the PPi-PFKs from Propionibacterium freudenreichii, Naegleria fowleri and potato. The amino acid residues known to contribute to the active site of PPi-PFK from P. freudenreichii are conserved.
