Genes encoding chiA
-
Three genes encoding chitinase A (chiA), B (chiB), and C (chiC) were amplified from a bacterium that was isolated from a naturally dead Helicoverpa armigera larva and identified as Serratia marcescens based on 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis (KF823633 accession number).

The Rv0948c gene fromMycobacterium tuberculosisH37Rv encodes a 90 amino acid protein as the natural gene product with chorismate mutase (CM) activity. The protein, 90-MtCM, exhibits Michaelis–Menten kinetics with akcat of 5.5 ± 0.2 s )1 and a Kmof 1500 ± 100lmat 37C and pH 7.5. The 2.0 A˚ X-ray structure shows that 90-MtCM is an alla-helical homodimer (Protein Data Bank ID: 2QBV) with the topology ofEscheri-chia coliCM (EcCM), and that both protomers contribute to each catalytic site.
