Abstract
A gene encoding an enzyme aqualysin I is disclosed. The gene of the present invention comprises a region encoding a signal peptide; a pro-region located downstream the signal peptide-encoding region; a region encoding aqualysin I, which is located downstream the pro-region; and a tail region of aqualysin I, which is located downstream the aqualysin I-encoding region. This invention also provides a recombinant vector comprising the gene, Escherichia coli transformed with the recombinant vector and a process of producing aqualysin I utilizing the Escherichia coli.
