Aminoacid Sequence of Dogfish M4 Lactate Dehydrogenase

PMCID: PMC433597  PMID: 4515938

Abstract

About 80% of the aminoacid sequence of dogfish (Squalus acanthius) M4 lactate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.27) has been elucidated. Several sequence homologies with peptides from pig H4 and pig M4 lactate dehydrogenase are identified. Histidine 195 is homologous to the essential histidine residue in pig H4 lactate dehydrogenase. Similarities in the sequence around the “essential” cysteine residue of lactate dehydrogenase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, and yeast and liver alcohol dehydrogenase are delineated.

Keywords: glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, lactic acid yeast and liver alcohol dehydrogenases
