A short open reading frame of 192 bp encoded 63 amino acids with a molecular weight of 6,985. Furthermore, the initial product of marinostatin (marinostatin L) was purified and its amino acid sequence was analyzed. These results indicate that marinostatin is produced as a unique precursor consisting of the mature peptide and the leader peptide for an ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter, and furthermore the initial product of marinostatin is dehydrated and processed by proteolysis to give homologous forms of marinostatin.}, pages = {2446--2449}, title = {Cloning and Nucleotide Sequence of the Gene Encoding a Serine Proteinase Inhibitor Named Marinostatin from a Marine Bacterium, Alteromonas sp.
