Abstract excerpt
The gene encoding a tripeptidyl aminopeptidase (Tap) from Streptomyces lividans was cloned by using a simple agar plate activity assay. Overexpression of the cloned gene results in the production of a secreted protein which has an apparent subunit molecular weight of 55,000 and is responsible for the major amino-terminal degradative activity in culture broths of S. lividans strains. A DNA sequence analysis...
