PURPOSE: Provided is an amino terminal protecting group-releasing enzyme characterized in that the enzyme possesses an activity for releasing a protecting group by acting on a peptide of which amino terminal is blocked by the protecting group (hereinafter abbreviated as a term "amino terminal protecting group-releasing activity"), and exhibits said activity for two or more protecting groups CONSTITUTION: Provided is an amino terminal protecting group-releasing enzyme characterized in that the enzyme possesses an activity for releasing a protecting group by acting on a peptide of which amino terminal is blocked by the protecting group, and exhibits the activity for two or more protecting groups, or a functional equivalent thereof; a DNA encoding the same; a method for producing the enzyme; a method for removing amino terminal protecting group including the step of subjecting to a reaction with the enzyme to release amino terminal protecting group; and a method for analyzing an amino acid sequence. The above enzyme is useful in the analysis of an amino acid sequence of peptides, particularly proteins and peptides, of which amino terminal is blocked by unknown protecting groups
