Cloning and sequencing of trehalose synthase gene from Pimelobacter sp. R48.
The gene encoding trehalose synthase (catalyzing the conversion of maltose into alpha, alpha-trehalose by intramolecular transglucosylation) was cloned from Pimelobacter sp. R48. Sequence analysis revealed a 1719-bp synthase gene and a 573-residue amino-acid sequence. The 220 N-terminal residues were homologous to those of maltases from Saccharomyces carlsbergensis and Aedes aegypti.
