Figure 1. cDNA for X29 ProteinThe complete nucleotide sequence for X29 is shown with a translation below. The initiating methionine is indicated in bold. Underlined peptides were obtained by Edman sequencing or MS/MS. The NUDIX consensus sequence is boxed, with the adjacent glutamic acid residues essential for catalysis indicated. The KK in the NUDIX domain indicates the X29 EE→KK mutation (see text). Degenerate oligonucleotides corresponding to peptides labeled #7 and #8 (dashed underline) yielded the 350 bp fragment by RT-PCR. X29 Genbank Accession Number, AY423379.
