ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a novel proteinase inhibitor useful as a medicine or pesticides and a gene coding for the inhibitor. A proteinase inhibitor (Kexstatin) having inhibitory activity against Kex2 proteinase family enzymes and having a molecular weight of 11,500; a gene coding for Kexstatin; and a method for producing Kexstatin using a microorganism belonging to the genus Streptomyces or transformed with Kexstatin gene are disclosed.
