Abstract excerpt
Cloning of the gametolysin gene, mmp1, of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii revealed that the gene has six introns in its coding region and that a novel structurally related gene. mmp2, is located just upstream of the mmp1 gene. The mmp2 gene has ten introns and the deduced amino acid sequence has the hallmark motif characteristics of metzincin-type matrix metalloproteases. Southern analysis showed that mmp1 and mmp2 are...
