Abstract
A secreted proteolytic polypeptide comprising at least three non-polar or uncharged polar amino acids within the last four amino acids of the C-terminus of the polypeptide, encoding polynucleotides, expression vectors comprising the polynucleotides, host cell comprising the polynucleotides, methods for producing said polypeptide, and methods for using the polypeptide

- 33;
- SEQ ID NO:
- 37;
- SEQ ID NO:
- 41;
- SEQ ID NO:
- 43;
- or SEQ ID NO:
- 45;
- (b) comprises an amino acid sequence which is at least 70% identical to the amino acid sequence of the mature part of the polypeptide encoded by the polynucleotide in SEQ ID NO:
- 1;
- SEQ ID NO:
- 2;
- SEQ ID NO:
- 25;
- SEQ ID NO:
- 31;
- SEQ ID NO:
- 32;
- SEQ ID NO:
- 36;
- SEQ ID NO:
- 40;
- or SEQ ID NO:
- 44;
- (c) comprises a mature part which is a variant of the mature part of the polypeptide having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 28;
- SEQ ID NO:
- 33;
- SEQ ID NO:
- 37;
- SEQ ID NO:
- 41;
- SEQ ID NO:
