Abstract: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 apoprotein deduced from the base sequence perfectly matched the one based on protein analysis, (3) 3rd letters of the codons were 88% G or C, while the 1st plus the 2nd letters were 63% G or C, (4) the structural gene had 57% homology with that of macromomycin apoprotein (mcmA) while the flanking regions had little homology with the corresponding ones of mcmA, except some homology at the -10th and -35th promoter regions, and (5) the gene was transcribed as a monocistronic mRNA in an early growth phase, independent of chromophore production.
