An amylase gene of Bacillus circulans was cloned in B. subtilis and its nucleotide sequence was determined. The putative proamylase consists of 528 amino acids, which correspond to a molecular weight of 58,776. Homologous regions with other amylases of Bacillus species were found. A sigma 55-type promoter is located at about 250 bp upstream from the starting codon. This promoter was also functional in Escherichia coli, and able to express beta-galactosidase activity.
将环状芽孢杆菌的淀粉酶基因克隆到枯草芽孢杆菌中,并测定了其核苷酸序列。推测的前淀粉酶由528个氨基酸组成,分子量为58,776。发现了与芽孢杆菌属其他淀粉酶的同源区域。一个σ55型启动子位于起始密码子上游约250 bp处。该启动子在大肠杆菌中也有功能,能够表达β-半乳糖苷酶活性。
