The nucleotide sequence of a 2360-basepair (bp) region of the Kluyveromyces marxianus genome containing the structural gene for the enzyme pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC) was determined. Comparison of the deduced amino-acid sequence of this gene to that of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae PDC genes reveals extensive homology including a motif common to thiamin diphosphate-dependent enzymes.
