Abstract

Penicillin acylase is utilized in the enzymatic production of semisynthetic penicillins. The enzyme is composed of two different subunits that originate from a common precursor. The partial nucleotide (nt) sequence of the structural gene has been published. This paper reports the nt sequence of the regulatory region of this gene, the identification of a functional promoter, the transcriptional start point, and the description of possible regulatory regions.
