Nucleotide sequence of the gene encoding pepstatin-insensitive acid protease B, scytalidopepsin B, of Scytalidium lignicolum.
A chromosomal DNA fragment of Scytalidium lignicolum that encodes the mature enzyme region of acid protease B (Scytalidopepsin B), was cloned and its nucleotides sequenced. The fragment contained a 76-bp intron at the middle of the mature enzyme-coding region. The mature enzyme was composed of 206 amino acid residues with a molecular weight of 21,550. There were some discrepancies between the amino acid sequence deduced from these results and that previously established by protein sequencing.
