  • Cloning and expression of yeast STE13 and Dpp2 genes encoding dipeptidyl aminopeptidase A and B
    Patent number: 4977085
    Abstract: A method is provided for expressing the proteases dipeptidyl aminopeptidases A and B which are useful for processing precursor proteins. Genes controlling these proteases may be insdrted into appropriate vectors and transformed into cultures. The proteases may either be utilized to process precursor proteins in vivo or may be extracted from cultures and used to process precursor proteins in vitro.
