Protein coding sequence for KeratinaseA

Keratinases are proteolytic enzymes which break the disulphide bonds in various keratin substrates. KERA is a basic part comprised from a synthesized KERA protein coding sequence, optimized for expression in E. coli and most active in degrading keratin in hair. This gene, when expressed in cells, can be tested for activity through looking for zones of clearing on skim milk agar plates where cells are growing, as well as by looking at degradation of keratin-containing substrates (hair, feathers, chemically synthesized keratin, etc.) when grown with cells.
