  • Pastuerella haemolytica glycoprotease gene and the purified enzyme
    Patent number: 5543312
    Abstract: A purified DNA molecule encoding a glycoprotease from Pasteurella haemolytica is disclosed. The DNA comprises a sequence of approximately 975 base pairs coding for a glycoprotease having a molecular weight of approximately 35.2 kD. The glycoprotease is specific for cleaving O-glycosylated carbohydrate portions from O-glycoproteins. The glycoprotease has a major cleavage site in glycophorin A between Arg31 and Asp32.
