Abstract

An aminopeptidase inhibitor is used when expressing heterologous protein in a bacterial host, such as Streptomyces. Use of such an inhibitor inhibits degradation of the heterologous protein by aminopeptidases. Inhibitors are designed based upon the mechanism and substrate specificity of the target protease and expressed protein.
