Secretion of tyrosinase in Streptomyces glaucescens. 1982

R Crameri, and L Ettlinger, and R Hütter, and K Lerch, and M A Suter, and J A Vetterli

In Streptomyces glaucescens, the intracellular and the extracellular enzyme forms of tyrosinase were found to be indentical in molecular weight (29 000), in copper content (0.21%), in the 19 amino acids at the amino-terminal end and in the ratio of cresolase to catecholase activity (0,005). The tyrosinase secretion process exhibited a constant rate of 0.15 units h-1 (mg protein)-1. Under highly induced conditions intracellular tyrosinase was accumulated. Mutations responsible for the non-melanogenic, tyrosinase-positive non-secretor mutant type are located chromosomally on the upper right arc of the S. glaucescens map near the ade-1 marker.
