title: Proteinases of Streptomyces fradiae. III. Catalytic and some physico- chemical properties of keratinolytic proteinase.
abstract: It has been shown that keratinase--proteinase PIV, the main enzyme of the proteolytic system of S. fradiae, is characterized by high effectiveness in its action on AcAla3OMe--exceeding elastase in catalytic effectiveness several times. This proteinase also cleaves ester and amide bonds formed by the residues of aromatic and basic amino acids, but with a lower effectiveness than chymotrypsin or trypsin. It has also been shown that proteinase IV is a typical serine enzyme highly sensitive to DFP, acting in strongly alkaline pH (about 11.2), with molecular weight 24 kDa and does not contain cysteine.
