Organism
Escherichia coli str. K-12 substr. MG1655 (strain: K-12, substrain: MG1655)
Lineage
Bacteria; Pseudomonadati; Pseudomonadota; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Enterobacteriaceae; Escherichia
Also known as
ECK3204; ossB
Summary
Although the GltF protein was overproduced using foreign translation signals, the detection of a signal peptide cleavage verifies the mature protein N-terminus. [More information is available at EcoGene: EG11514]. gltF belongs to an operon with genes for the large and small subunits of glutamate synthase, gltB and gltD . [More information is available at EcoCyc: EG11514].
