| Abstract: | The alpha-amylase gene of a Natronococcus sp. (1,512 bp) contained a signal peptide of 43 amino acids. Haloferax volcanii expressed the gene and cleaved the signal peptide accurately. The signal peptide shared an extremely high amino acid sequence identity with that of a protease from the halophilic archaeon 172P1. |
