RESUMO
The gene for a novel extracellular metalloprotease was cloned, and its nucleotide sequence was determined. The gene (mpr) encodes a primary product of 313 amino acids that has little similarity to other known Bacillus proteases. The amino acid sequence of the mature protease was preceded by a signal sequence of approximately 34 amino acids and a pro sequence of 58 amino acids. Four cysteine residues were found in the deduced amino acid sequence of the mature protein, indicating the possible presence of disulfide bonds. The mpr gene mapped in the cysA-aroI region of the chromosome and was not required for growth or sporulation.
