RESUMO
The middle wall protein gene of Bacillus brevis 47 has two potential translation initiation sites located tandemly in the same reading frame. We demonstrate here that both sites are utilized to start translation in B. brevis 47. Translation from the first site (located upstream) gives rise to a precursor of the middle wall protein with an extension peptide of 31 amino acids preceding the signal peptide. The precursor was cleaved at the same position as that of the precursor translated from the second site. The TTG codon seems to play an appreciable role in the initiation of translation in B. brevis 47.
