We have cloned a gene (aphA) encoding acetylpolyamine amidohydrolase from Mycoplana ramosa ATCC 49678, (previously named Mycoplana bullata). A genomic library of M. ramosa was screened with an oligonucleotide probe designed from a N-terminal amino acid sequence of the enzyme purified from M. ramosa. Nucleotide sequence analysis revealed an open reading frame of 1,023 bp which encodes a polypeptide with a molecular mass of 36,337 Da. This is the first report of the structure of acetylpolyamine am ...[more]
