Abstract excerpt
The Bacillus subtilis alpha-amylase signal peptide consists of 33 amino acids from its translation initiation site. To analyze the structural requirements for efficient processing of the signal peptide, single and repeated Ala-X-Ala sequences and their modifications were introduced into B. subtilis alpha-amylase signal peptides of different lengths and the mature thermostable alpha-amylase. Then the cleavage...
