title: Thr/Ser-rich domain of Aspergillus glucoamylase is essential for secretion.
abstract: The recombinant Aspergillus awamori strain carrying the mutant glucoamylase-encoding gene in which the entire Thr/Ser-rich Gp-I domain was deleted abolished secretion of mutant glucoamylase. The transcription of the Bip-encoding bipA was low in the wild type (wt) strain, but elevated in the recombinant strain under the condition of glaA expression. The results indicate that the Gp-I domain is vital for glucoamylase secretion.
