Abstract
A genomic DNA sequence and cDNA encoding a putative manganese peroxidase were isolated from the white-rot basidiomycete Lentinula edodes. The gene, called lemnp1, consists of a 1985-bp open reading frame interrupted by 16 introns and was flanked by an upstream region having putative CAAT, TATA, and heat shock elements and by a downstream region having polyadenylation signals. The lemnp1 gene encodes a protein of 364 amino acids that shows high sequence homology to manganese peroxidases of other basidiomycetes. The deduced N-terminal amino acid sequence is different from the L. edodes manganese peroxidase reported previously.
