A previously undiscovered intracellular serine protease activity, which we have called intracellular serine protease-4, was identified in extracts of stationary Bacillus subtilis cells, purified 260 fold from the cytoplasmic fraction, and characterized. The new protease was stable and active in the
## Abstract Proteases, also referred to as peptidases, are the enzymes that catalyse the hydrolysis of peptide bonds in polipeptides. A variety of biological functions and processes depend on their activity. Regardless of the organismβs complexity, peptidases are essential at every stage of life of
The microbe Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) produces crystals that contain insecticidal crystal proteins (ICPs) used to control many major pests. ICPs are degraded by proteases from a variety of sources, including those endogenous to the bacterium, those purified from animals and plants, or those found
