Abstract
The invention concerns DNA encoding prolylendopeptidase, hybrid vectors containing such DNA, transformed hosts capable of expressing prolylendopeptidase, a process for the production of prolylendopeptidase including the steps of: culturing a host organism transformed with an expression vector including a DNA coding for prolylendopeptidase and optionally, recovering the produced prolylendopeptidase; and a process for the production of a C-terminal amidated peptide from two precursors, including the steps of: placing the two precursors in contact with a prolylendopeptidase in a medium to convert the precursor peptides to the C-terminal amidated peptide, and recovering the resulting C-terminal amidated peptide.
