title: Sequences of three genes specifying xylanases in Streptomyces lividans.
abstract: The entire nucleotide (nt) sequences of three genes (xlnA, xlnB and xlnC) of Streptomyces lividans encoding three distinct xylanases (Xln) have been determined. The nt sequences were confirmed by comparing the deduced amino acid (aa) sequences with the ones derived from the N-terminal aa sequences of the mature purified proteins. The N-terminus of the XlnA showed some homology with either the N-termini or the C-termini of eight other Xln and of two exo-glucanases. The N-terminus of XlnB is homologous to that of XlnC and to Xln of seven other microorganisms.
