Nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences of an alkaline pullulanase from the alkaliphilic bacterium Bacillus sp. KSM-1876.
The nucleotide sequence of an alkaline pullulanase-encoding gene from alkaliphilic Bacillus sp. strain KSM-1876 was determined. The open reading frame of the gene encoded 1142 amino acids with a calculated molecular mass of 128739 Da. The alkaline pullulanase showed very limited homology (<32% identity) to previously reported debranching enzymes from prokaryotes and eukaryotes. It contained unique tandem repeats in both the N-terminal and the C-terminal regions.
