Abstract
Two cloned cDNA sequences from barley aleurone, representing complementary parts of a barley (1 .fwdarw. 3.1 .fwdarw. 4)-.beta.- glucanase gene were joined together and fused in frame to a DNA fragment encoding the mouse .alpha.-amylase signal peptide. The triplet determining the amino terminal amino acid residue of native .beta.-glucanase was changed from ATC (isoleucine) to CTA (leucine) in order to accommodate the .alpha.-amylase signal sequence in the correct reading frame. This chimaeric cDNA was inserted in the yeast expression vector pMA 56 behind the promoter from the yeast alcohol dehydrogenase I gene. Yeast cells harbouring such plasmids synthesize .beta.-glucanase and secrete the enzyme to the culture medium.
