Abstract: This disclosure concerns production of product peptides with a target amino acid sequence by proteolysis of a recombinant polypeptide comprising specific protease recognition sites or chemical cleavage sequences. In some embodiments, the product peptide is released from repeating peptide units in the recombinant polypeptide by removal of intervening amino acid sequences by proteolysis by proteases that recognize sites within the intervening amino acid sequences and a carboxypeptidase, aminopeptidase, and/or further protease.
