title: Proteinases of Streptomyces fradiae. II. Specificity.
abstract: It has been shown that extracellular proteinases synthesized by a keratinolytic strain of S. fradiae are characterized by diversified activity in the decomposition of both proteins and synthetic substrates. Among the six proteinases isolated, apart from the ones dominating and having relatively low specificity, there are two enzymes characterized by narrow catalytic abilities--extremely similar to those of trypsin. These proteinases intensively degraded all the trypsin substrates studied, but they were inactive or showed slight activity toward others. They were also highly sensitive to such specific inhibitors of trypsin as TLCK, SBTI and TIO.
