Abstract excerpt
The apoprotein gene for a chromoprotein antitumor antibiotic, C-1027, was cloned from the producer strain, Streptomyces globisporus C-1027, and sequenced. The process verified that; (1) the sequence included the entire structural gene directing a precursor of the apoprotein (pre-apoprotein having Met1---Ala33 leader peptide ahead of the apoprotein) and flanking regions, (2) the amino acid sequence of the...
