Abstract
The invention provides a nitrile hydratase activation protein participating in activation of nitrile hydratase derived from Pseudonocardia thermophila JCM3095, and a gene sequence encoding the same. Further, the invention provides a recombinant plasmid containing the gene, a recombinant plasmid containing the gene and a nitrile hydratase gene, a transformant strain obtained through transformation with the recombinant plasmid, and a process for producing a corresponding amide compound from a nitrile compound using a culture solution and cells obtained by incubating the transformant strain and treated products of the cells.
