Kex2 Protease from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Recombinant

Kex2 is a Ca2+-dependent serine protease and cleaves at C-terminal site of Lys-Arg, Arg-Arg, Pro-Arg in pro-α-factor and killer-toxin precursors maturing, it was discovered in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. But Kex2 can’t recognize and cut a single basic amino acid,such as carboxyl end peptide bond of arginine and lysine. Recombinant Kex2 is a genetically engineered protein expressed in Pichia pastoris and purified by high pressure liquid chromatography. The activity of Kex2 is not affected by the conventional serine protease inhibitors such as PMSF, TPCK, TLCK inhibition.
