Abstract A genomic DNA clone encoding an aspartic proteinase inhibitor of potato was isolated from a lambda EMBL3 phage library using the aspartic proteinase inhibitor cDNA as a hybridization probe. The gene has all characteristic sequences normally found in eucaryotic genes. Typical CAAT and TATA box sequences were found in the 5′-upstream region. In this part are also two putative regulatory AGGA box sequences located. In the genomic sequence there are no intron sequences interrupting the coding region. An open reading frame of the gene encodes a precursor protein of 217 amino acids which shows high percent identity with the aspartic proteinase inhibitor cDNA.
