Abstract
The present invention relates to an antifungal protein gene and cDNA sequence thereof, which is obtained by mining the whole genome sequences ofBCRC 38072 and the unigene database. The gene can encode an antifungal protein MAFP1. A purified protein obtained fromculture broth having molecular weight of about 7 kDa is identified as MAFP1 by N-terminal protein sequencing and comparative analysis. The purified MAFP1 protein can inhibit the growth of pathogens such asBCRC 33174 andBCRC 35004. In addition, it is found by PCR test that the gene of this antifungal protein exists in otherspecies such asand the like. It is also been proved that the mafp1 gene and cDNA thereof in fourstrains,(BCRC 38072, BCRC 38093 and BCRC 31502) andBCRC 31533, have the same DNA sequences.
