Abstract excerpt
A new allele, the EPG1-2 gene, which codes for an endopolygalacturonase in Kluyveromyces marxianus CECT1043, has been cloned. The gene has 1086 bp and the protein 362 amino acids, one more than the previously described Epg1p. Epg1-2p shows a high degree of similarity with the polygalacturonases of fungi and yeasts. The sequences common to all of the polygalacturonases of prokaryotes, fungi, and higher plants are...
