<p>A polynucleotide having the base sequence represented by SEQ ID NO:1 or a polynucleotide functionally equivalent thereto; a polypeptide having the amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO:1 or a polypeptide having functionally equivalent thereto; and a process for producing a polypeptide which comprises culturing a strain belonging to the genus Aspergillus in a nutrient medium, producing and accumulating a polypeptide having a protease activity in the medium, and purifying and collecting the same. The above-described polypeptide is a novel polypeptide originating in not animals but a microorganism and having a protease activity and a narrow substrate specificity as a protease.</p> |
