title: Sequence analysis of the agrA gene encoding beta-agarase from Pseudomonas atlantica.
abstract: The nucleotide sequence of the agrA gene encoding an extracellular beta-agarase of Pseudomonas atlantica was determined. An open reading frame of 1,515 nucleotides which corresponded to agrA was found. The nucleotide sequence predicts a primary translation product of 504 amino acids and Mr 57,486. Comparison of the deduced amino acid sequences of beta-agarase from P. atlantica and the extracellular beta-agarase from Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) suggests that these proteins share several domains in common.
