Title Barnase and barstar. Expression of its cloned inhibitor permits expression of a cloned ribonuclease.
Journal J Mol Biol
Abstract Barnase is the extracellular ribonuclease of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens and barstar its specific intracellular inhibitor. The gene for barstar has now been cloned and sequenced. When the wild-type gene for barnase is reconstructed from its previously cloned parts on the same plasmid as the barstar gene, the lethal effect of its expression is suppressed. A plasmid has been devised which directs the secretion of 100 mg per active barnase liter by Escherichia coli and another which provides large (500 to 1000 mg/l) yields of barstar. The structure of these plasmids and the derived 89 amino acid sequence of barstar are reported.
