Abstract excerpt
The propeptide of Pseudomonas aeruginosa elastase functions both as an intramolecular chaperone required for the folding of the enzyme and as an inhibitor that prevents activity of the enzyme before its secretion into the extracellular medium. Since expression of the lasB gene, which encodes elastase, in Pseudomonas putida did not result in extracellular elastase activity, it has been suggested that the enzyme is...
