PCT No. PCT/JP95/01095 Sec. 371 Date Dec. 13, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date Dec. 13, 1996 PCT Filed Jun. 5, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO95/34645 PCT Pub. Date Dec. 21, 1995There is disclosed a hyperthermostable protease gene originating in Pyrococcus furiosus, in particular, a hyperthermostable protease gene encoding the amino acid sequence represented by the SEQ ID NO 1 in the Sequence Listing or a part thereof which retains the activity of the hyperthermostable protease. There is also disclosed a process for producing the protease by culturing a transformant transformed with a plasmid into which the above gene has been inserted./!
