Abstract excerpt
Sulfolobus solfataricus secretes an acid-resistant alpha-amylase (amyA) during growth on starch as the sole carbon and energy source. Synthesis of this activity is subject to catabolite repression. To better understand alpha-amylase function and regulation, the structural gene was identified and disrupted and the resulting mutant was characterized. Internal alpha-amylase peptide sequences obtained by tandem mass...
