Cloning and nucleotide sequences of the complementary and genomic DNAs for the alkaline protease from Acremonium chrysogenum.
Complementary DNA encoding Ac. chrysogenum alkaline protease (Alp) was isolated from the Ac. chrysogenum ATCC11550 cDNA library by express-blot assay. The genomic DNAs encoding Ac. chrysogenum Alp were isolated from the Ac. chrysogenum genomic DNA library using the cloned cDNA as a probe. The 3150 nucleotides of the gene were sequenced. The prepro-Alp consists of 402 amino acids and two intervening sequences are found within the coding region. The amino acid sequence of Ac. chrysogenum Alp has 57% homology to that of Aspergillus oryzae Alp. The entire cDNA, encoding Ac. chrysogenum Alp, when introducing into the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, directed the secretion of enzymatically active Alp into the culture medium.
