Abstract
A 2.1-kb DNA fragment containing the SWA2 gene determining an alpha-am ylase 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 Mr 55966. Its deduced amino-acid sequence sh ows significant similarities to the sequence of other studied alpha-am ylases. These similarities identify a consensus sequence, F(LIV)(ED)NH D, which is shared in addition by most maltases, invertases and glucoa mylases.
