ABSTRACT:
A chimeric gene for use in producing a mature protein in secreted form by stably transformed plant cells is disclosed. The gene includes a DNA coding sequence encoding a fusion protein having an (i) N-terminal moiety corresponding to the portion of the rice .alpha.-amylase signal sequence peptide identified by SEQ ID: 1 and, (ii) immediately adjacent the C-terminal amino acid of said portion, a protein moiety corresponding to the protein to be produced. Also disclosed are a fusion protein encoded by the gene, and a method of producing a mature protein in secreted form by plant cells.
