RESUMO
The coding region for a secreted proteinaceous inhibitor of the human alpha-amylase (tendamistat; HOE 467) was identified by using a synthetic oligonucleotide probe. The gene is part of a 37-kilobase amplified genomic sequence found in an overproducing mutant of Streptomyces tendae. After subcloning, sequence analysis revealed an open reading frame of 312 base pairs preceded by a putative ribosome-binding site. The reading frame is 30 codons longer than necessary for the mature protein. This sequence coded for an amino-terminal extension of tendamistat and shows typical features of a signal peptide. After being cloned into Streptomyces vector plasmids and transformed to the heterologous host, Streptomyces lividans TK24, the gene was expressed, and the alpha-amylase inhibitor was correctly processed and secreted into the culture medium. The amount of secreted protein was dependent on the gene dosage and on the promoter arrangement.
