Abstract

Colwellia sp. NJ341, isolated from Antarctic sea ice, secreted a cold-active serine protease. The purified protease had an apparent Mr of 60 kDa by SDS-PAGE and MALDI-TOF MS. It was active from pH 5-12 with maximum activity at 35°C (assayed over 10 min). Activity at 0°C was nearly 30% of the maximum activity. It was completely inhibited by phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride.
