Features of the transglutaminase-activating metalloprotease from Streptomyces mobaraensis DSM 40847 produced in Escherichia coli.

Transglutaminase from Streptomyces mobaraensis (MTG) is an important enzyme for numerous industrial applications. Recombinant production requires proteolytic activation of the zymogen. The study provides a convenient procedure for the preparation of the transglutaminase-activating metalloprotease (TAMP) in Escherichia coli.
