The nucleotide (nt) sequence of the cholesterol oxidase (Cho)-encoding gene (choB) cloned from Brevibacterium sterolicum ATCC21387 was determined. The sequence contained an open reading frame with a G + C content of 64.9 mol% that would encode a protein of 552 amino acids (aa). Comparison of the nt sequence of choB and deduced aa sequence to those of the Cho-encoding gene (choA) of Streptomyces sp. strain SA-COO showed identities of 64% and 58%, respectively. N-terminal aa sequence analysis of the extracellular enzyme of B. sterolicum confirmed that the mature enzyme consisted of 507 aa with a predicted Mr of 54,902, and was preceded by a 45-aa signal sequence.
测定了从短柄棒杆菌ATCC21387克隆的胆固醇氧化酶(Cho)编码基因(choB)的核苷酸(nt)序列。该序列包含一个开放阅读框,G+C含量为64.9 mol%,可编码一个由552个氨基酸(aa)组成的蛋白质。将choB的nt序列和推导的aa序列与链霉菌属菌株SA - COO的Cho编码基因(choA)的相应序列进行比较,结果显示同源性分别为64%和58%。对短柄棒杆菌细胞外酶的N端aa序列分析证实,成熟酶由507个aa组成,预测的Mr为54,902,其前面有一个45个aa的信号序列。
