Abstract
The influence of peptidases on human interleukin-3 (rhIL-3) production by a recombinant Streptomyces lividans strain was investigated. The bacterium produced several general peptidases and tripeptidyl peptidases compromising the authenticity of rhIL-3. The level of peptidases depended on growth morphology. Growing S. lividans as compact pellets successfully reduced peptidase activity. Maximum general peptidase activity in pellet culture was delayed after maximum rhIL-3 concentration was achieved. The activity of the tripeptidyl peptidase was product (rhIL-3) associated.
