  • Patent number: 8465959
    Abstract: A secreted mature polypeptide derived from an S2A or S1E protease is described which after maturation has protease activity, which polypeptide when expressed and before maturation comprises a heterologous pro-region. Further, a method for producing polypeptide is described including the step of cultivating a recombinant host cell including a polynucleotide encoding a secreted mature polypeptide which after maturation has protease activity, which polypeptide when expressed and before maturation includes a heterologous pro-region derived from an S2A or S1E protease to produce a supermatant including the polypeptide. The polypeptide may also be recovered.
