Abstract excerpt
Recombinant barley alpha-amylase 1 (rAMY1) and 2 (rAMY2), despite 80% sequence identity, are produced in very different amounts of 1.1 and <0.05 mg/l, respectively, by Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain S150-2B. The low yield of AMY2 practically excludes mutational analysis of structure-function relationships and protein engineering. Since different secretion levels of AMY1/AMY2 chimeras were previously ascribed to...
