Molecular cloning and regulatory analysis of the cuticle‐degrading‐protease structural gene from the entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae

The proteinaceous insect cuticle is an effective barrier against most microbes, but entomopathogenic fungi can breach it using extracellular proteases. We report here the isolation and characterization of a cDNA clone of the cuticle‐degrading protease (Pr1) of Metarhizium anisopliae. The cDNA sequen...
