Title:
ENZYMES WHICH PARTICIPATE IN C-TERMINAL AMIDATION, AND PRODUCTION AND USE THEREOF
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/1991/002790
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
An enzyme which acts on a peptide C-terminal/glycine adduct of formula (I), (wherein A represents a residue formed by removing an $g(a)-amino or imino group and an $g(a)-carboxyl group from a natural $g(a)-amino acid, and X represents a hydrogen atom or a residue of an amino acid derivative which combines with the N atom via a carbonyl group) to produce a peptide C-terminal/$g(a)-hydroxyglycine adduct of formula (II), (wherein A and X are each as defined above), and another enzyme which acts on the compound of formula (II) to produce a C-terminal amidated peptide of formula (III), wherein A and X are each as defined above.
