The XPR2 gene encoding an alkaline extracellular protease (AEP) from Yarrowia lipolytica was cloned, and its complete nucleotide sequence was determined. The amino acid sequence deduced from the nucleotide sequence reveals that the mature AEP consists of 297 amino acids with a relative molecular weight of 30,559. The gene codes for a putative 22-amino-acid prepeptide (signal sequence) followed by an additional 135-amino-acid propeptide containing a possible N-linked glycosylation site and two Lys-Arg peptidase-processing sites. The final Lys-Arg site occurs at the junction with the mature, extracellular form. The mature protease contains two potential glycosylation sites. AEP is a member of the subtilisin family of serine proteases, with 42.6% homology to the fungal proteinase K. The functional promoter is more than 700 base pairs long, allowing for the observed complex regulation of this gene. The 5' and 3' flanking regions of the XPR2 gene have structural features in common with other yeast genes.

D008969 Molecular Sequence Data Descriptions of specific amino acid, carbohydrate, or nucleotide sequences which have appeared in the published literature and/or are deposited in and maintained by databanks such as GENBANK, European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), National Biomedical Research Foundation (NBRF), or other sequence repositories.

D009693 Nucleic Acid Hybridization Widely used technique which exploits the ability of complementary sequences in single-stranded DNAs or RNAs to pair with each other to form a double helix. Hybridization can take place between two complimentary DNA sequences, between a single-stranded DNA and a complementary RNA, or between two RNA sequences. The technique is used to detect and isolate specific sequences, measure homology, or define other characteristics of one or both strands.

D003062 Codon A set of three nucleotides in a protein coding sequence that specifies individual amino acids or a termination signal (CODON, TERMINATOR). Most codons are universal, but some organisms do not produce the transfer RNAs (RNA, TRANSFER) complementary to all codons. These codons are referred to as unassigned codons (CODONS, NONSENSE).

D004262 DNA Restriction Enzymes Enzymes that are part of the restriction-modification systems. They catalyze the endonucleolytic cleavage of DNA sequences which lack the species-specific methylation pattern in the host cell's DNA. Cleavage yields random or specific double-stranded fragments with terminal 5'-phosphates. The function of restriction enzymes is to destroy any foreign DNA that invades the host cell. Most have been studied in bacterial systems, but a few have been found in eukaryotic organisms. They are also used as tools for the systematic dissection and mapping of chromosomes, in the determination of base sequences of DNAs, and have made it possible to splice and recombine genes from one organism into the genome of another.
