Popis: A wheat alpha-amylase cDNA clone has been fused to the phosphoglycerate kinase initiator methionine to enable synthesis in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae of an alpha-amylase enzyme that is identical in size to the wild-type alpha-amylase. The alpha-amylase is synthesized with an N-terminal plant signal peptide which is recognized in the yeast host, leading to efficient processing and secretion into the medium. The secretion of alpha-amylase into the medium is quite efficient in rich medium, but barely detectable in a minimal medium.
