The Bacillus subtilis ywjI ( glpX ) Gene Encodes a Class II Fructose-1,6-Bisphosphatase, Functionally Equivalent to the Class III Fbp Enzyme

Abstract

ABSTRACT We present here experimental evidence that the Bacillus subtilis ywjI gene encodes a class II fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase, functionally equivalent to the fbp -encoded class III enzyme, and constitutes with the upstream gene, murAB , an operon transcribed at the same level under glycolytic or gluconeogenic conditions.
