PEPTIDE DEFORMYLASE

摘要

This invention relates to an isolated nucleic acid fragment encoding a metalloprotease, more specifically peptide deformylase. The invention also relates to the construction of a recombinant DNA construct encoding all or a portion of peptide deformylase, in sense or antisense orientation, wherein expression of the recombinant DNA construct results in production of altered levels of peptide deformylase in a transformed host cell.
