[Expression optimization of Bacillus pumilus subtilisin-like proteinase]

The characteristics of Bacillus pumilus subtilisin-like protease expression were investigated. Potential binding sites for the transcription factor DegU~P have been identified in the regulatory region of the enzyme gene, which have been optimized for interaction with the regulatory protein. The expression of the extracellular subtilisin-like protease modified gene has been examined. It was established that the modification of one of the sites has resulted in increased expression of the proteinase in 2 times. It is concluded that the optimization of the promoter led to increased expression of subtilisin-like protease.
