Abstract
A 2.1-kb DNA fragment containing the SWA2 gene determining an alpha-amylase from Schwanniomyces occidentalis has been sequenced. It contains an open reading frame of 1521 bp which has the potential to encode a 507 amino-acid protein of M(r) 55966. Its deduced amino-acid sequence shows significant similarities to the sequence of other studied alpha-amylases. These similarities identify a consensus sequence, F(LIV)(ED)NHD, which is shared in addition by most maltases, invertases and glucoamylases.
