title: Proteolytic enzymes from recombinant Streptomyces lividans TK24.
abstract: Different proteases from the culture fluids of recombinant Streptomyces lividans strains were isolated. Several individual proteases were separated and characterized. A chymotrypsin-chylike activity (CLA) was identified that specifically degrades a fusion protein between the alpha-amylase inhibitor from S. tendae (Tendamistat, HOE467) and proinsulin from the monkey Macaca fascicularis. The effective chemical inhibition of the degrading enzyme is demonstrated.
