Abstract
The prt gene, encoding a protease (Prt) from Streptomyces lividans TK24, was cloned and sequenced. An S. lividans host with plasmid-borne prt secreted 200 micrograms/ml of a 22-kDa Prt into the culture medium. Prt is classified as a metalloprotease since its activity is significantly inhibited by 1,10-phenanthroline or EDTA. The region upstream from prt codes for an incomplete open reading frame (ORF) oriented opposite to prt. This ORF has a strong similarity to a gene family (lysR) whose members regulate the transcription of structural genes required for either biosynthesis or degradation.Entities:
