Claims
- 1. An isolated polypeptide comprising amino acid residues 126-371 of SEQ ID NO:12.
- 2. The isolated polypeptide of claim 1, wherein the polypeptide comprises the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:12.
- 3. An isolated polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence encoded by the cDNA insert contained within E. coli clone 54-C deposited with the NRRL (accession No. B-21456).
- 4. An isolated polypeptide exhibiting cysteine protease activity comprising an amino acid sequence encoded by a nucleic acid molecule which hybridizes to the complement of the nucleic acid molecule of SEQ ID NO:11, or the nucleotide sequence of the cDNA insert contained within E. coli clone 54-C deposited with the NRRL (accession No. B-21456), wherein the nucleic acid molecule hybridizes under conditions that comprise washing in 0.1.times.SSC/0.1% SDS at 68.degree. C.
- 5. An isolated polypeptide exhibiting cysteine protease activity comprising an amino acid sequence encoded by a nucleic acid molecule which hybridizes to the complement of the nucleic acid molecule of SEQ ID NO:11, or the nucleotide sequence of the cDNA insert within E. coli clone 54-C deposited with the NRRL (accession No. B-21456), wherein the nucleic acid molecule hybridizes under conditions that comprise washing in 0.2.times.SSC/0.1% SDS at 42.degree. C.
