title: Nucleotide sequence of the promoter and NH2-terminal signal peptide region of Bacillus subtilis alpha-amylase gene cloned in pUB110.
abstract: The nucleotide sequence of the promotor and NH2-terminal signal peptide region of the alpha-amylase gene derived from the alpha-amylase hyperproducing strain B. subtilis NA64 was determined. DNA sequences of the NH2-terminal region of the mature alpha-amylase, 41 amino acid residues of the signal peptide, a Shine-Dalgarno sequence (AGGAG), a potential RNA polymerase recognition site (TTGAAA), and a potential Pribnow box (AAGTAA) were identified. The DNA sequence was quite different from that of the alpha-amylase gene of B. amyloliquefaciens.
