Characterization of the Lactobacillus helveticus CNRZ32 pepC gene.

Department of Food Science, University of Wisconsin-Madison 53706.

ABSTRACT

Sequence analysis of the aminopeptidase C gene (pepC) from Lactobacillus helveticus CNRZ32 identified a 1,332-nucleotide open reading frame coding for a polypeptide with motifs characteristic of cysteine proteinases. Homology to the pepC gene appears to be widely distributed among lactic acid bacteria.
