To obtain a new serine protease from alkalophilic Bacillus sp. NKS-21, shotgun cloning was carried out. As a result, a new protease gene was obtained. It encoded an intracellular serine protease (ISP-1) in which there was no signal sequence. The molecular weight was 34,624. The protease showed about

β¦ Synopsis
A gene, aprP, encoding an extracellular alkaline serine protease from a newly isolated Pseudomonas sp. KFCC 10818 was cloned and characterized. Nucleotide sequence analysis revealed an open reading frame of 1,266 nucleotides which could encode a polypeptide comprised of 422 amino acids. The C-terminal 283 residues showed an overall sequence homology with the subtilisin-type serine proteases. When expressed in E. coli, the alkaline protease, AprP, was released to the culture medium. The purified AprP was most active at pH 11. The k,,tlK, value of this enzyme was 9.2 x lo3 S'mM', which is much higher than those of subtilisins.
