Disease relevance of lplA

The kinetics of mRNA synthesis of the genes encoding Thermomyces lanuginosa lipase (lplA) and Escherichia coli beta-glucuronidase (uidA), which were also under the control of the exlA promoter, were similar to those observed for exlA mRNA [1].
A gene called lplA (lipoprotein-like) has been isolated from a genomic library of Bacillus subtilis expressed in Escherichia coli [2].

High impact information on lplA

Clones carrying the lplA gene were selected by the ability of the colonies to give visible haloes of starch hydrolysis [2].
