A genomic DNA sequence and cDNA encoding a putative chitin synthase were isolated from the white rot basidiomycete Lentinula edodes. The gene, named LeChs2, consists of a 2,598-bp open reading frame interrupted by 14 introns and encodes a putative protein of 866 amino acid residues. The data obtained in this study suggest that LeChs2 belongs to the class II chitin synthases.
从白腐担子菌香菇中分离出一个编码假定几丁质合酶的基因组DNA序列和cDNA。该基因名为LeChs2，由一个2598 bp的开放阅读框组成，被14个内含子打断，编码一个866个氨基酸残基的假定蛋白质。本研究获得的数据表明，LeChs2属于II类几丁质合酶。
