Identification and Genetic Characterization of a Novel Proteinase, PrtR, from the Human Isolate Lactobacillus rhamnosus BGT10
A novel proteinase, PrtR, produced by the human vaginal isolate Lactobacillus rhamnosus strain BGT10 was identified and genetically characterized. The prtR gene and flanking regions were cloned and sequenced. The deduced amino acid sequence of PrtR shares characteristics that are common for other ce...
