    Abstract

    A gene from Rhizobium meliloti coding for an adenylate cyclase was sequenced, and the deduced protein sequence was compared with those of other known adenylate cyclases. No similarity could be detected with the procaryotic counterparts. However, striking similarity was found with the catalytic region of Saccharomyces cerevisiae adenylate cyclase, the cytoplasmic domains of bovine adenylate cyclase, and two mammalian guanylate cyclases. The gene was fused to the enteric beta-galactosidase, and the chimeric protein was purified by affinity chromatography. This fusion protein was found to direct the synthesis of cyclic AMP in vitro. This activity was strongly inhibited by the presence of GTP, but no cyclic GMP synthesis could be detected in conditions permitting cyclic AMP synthesis.
