The coding region of the alpha-amylase inhibitor (HaimII) gene from the producing strain Streptomyces griseosporeus YM-25 was localized on an 800-base-pair DNA segment. The nucleotide sequence of a 1,191-base-pair region including the HaimII gene was determined by the dideoxy-chain termination method. The nucleotide sequence data predicted an open reading frame of 363 base pairs starting with an ATG initiation codon and ending with a TGA translational stop codon. The amino acid sequence deduced from the nucleotide sequence indicated that the presumptive pre-HaimII protein extends 37 amino acids to the amino terminus and 6 amino acids to the carboxyl terminus of the mature HaimII protein. The pre-HaimII protein is believed to be processed both during and after secretion. Two forms of the inhibitor, which have a higher molecular weight than that of the HaimII protein isolated from S. griseosporeus, were partially purified from the culture filtrate of Streptomyces lividans containing the cloned HaimII gene.

D003001	Cloning, Molecular	The insertion of recombinant DNA molecules from prokaryotic and/or eukaryotic sources into a replicating vehicle, such as a plasmid or virus vector, and the introduction of the resultant hybrid molecules into recipient cells without altering the viability of those cells.	Molecular Cloning
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).
