The nucleotide sequence of a 2.1-kilobase-pair fragment containing the Streptomyces choA gene, which codes a secreted cholesterol oxidase, was determined. A single open reading frame encodes a mature cholesterol oxidase of 504 amino acids, with a calculated Mr of 54,913. The leader peptides extend over 42 amino acids and have the characteristics of a signal sequence, including basic amino acids near the amino terminus and a hydrophobic core near the signal cleavage site. Analyses of the total am ...[more]
