C-terminal modification of polypeptides

The invention relates to a mutated trypsin comprising an amino acid substitution both at position K60 and D189, and at least one more amino acid substitution by histidine at position N143 or position E151. Such trypsin mutant has a preferred cleavage site comprising the amino acids Xaa1-Xaa2-His, wh...

Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to a mutated trypsin comprising an amino acid substitution both at position K60 and D189, and at least one more amino acid substitution by histidine at position N143 or position E151. Such trypsin mutant has a preferred cleavage site comprising the amino acids Xaa1-Xaa2-His, wherein Xaa1 is L, Y or F and Xaa2 is R or K. The invention also relates to a man-made polypeptide comprising a target peptide and the above cleavage site as well as to a method of producing C-terminally modified target peptides by using this mutated trypsin.
