Abstract:
The pjaA gene of Pseudomonas sp. W7 consists of an open reading frame of 1926 bp encoding beta-agarase, a protein of 642 amino acids and a molecular weight of 69,540 Da. The expressed protein of plasmid pEAG3-3, in which 259 amino acid residues from C-terminus of the overexpression plasmid (pEAG3) were eliminated, led to the complete loss of agarolytic activity.
