Abstract
The invention relates to a regulatory factor or system composed of 2 components of a polypeptide having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID No:1 and a polypeptide having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID No:2 to activate a nitrilase gene promoter, as well as to DNA coding therefor. Nitrilase can be produced by introducing the gene coding for the present regulatory factor together with a nitrilase gene containing a promoter region into a microorganism of the genus Rhodococcus.
