Abstract
Streptomyces subtilisin inhibitor-like proteins were found to be distributed widely in streptomycetes by using the combination of the convenient, newly developed plate assay system and an established liquid culture assay. Almost all the strains formerly categorized as Streptoverticillium species produced proteins that exhibited inhibitory activity against both subtilisin BPN' and trypsin. N-terminal regions of three purified proteins showed high structural similarity to those of other previously reported SIL inhibitors.
