Notes:
The nitrilase of Rhodococcus rhodochrous PA-34 catalyzes the production of optically active amino acids from aminonitriles. The amino acid sequence of the NH2 terminus of the purified nitrilase was determined for the preparation of a synthetic oligonucleotide as a southern hybridization probe. A 9.5-kbp Pst I-fragement, which hybridized with the oligonucleotide probe, was isolated from R. rhodochrous PA-34 genomic libraries constructed in pUC 19. Nucleotide sequence analysis revealed that the nitrilase gene codes for a putative polypeptide of 380 amino acids which correspond to a relative molecular weight of 41, 723.
