Summary:It is intended to provide an actinomyces-origin neutral metalloprotease, which selectively cleaves the pro-structure moiety of a microorganism-origin protransglutaminase, and a gene encoding the same. An activated microorganism-origin transglutaminase from which the pro-structural moiety has been excised can be produced by culturing a microorganism having the gene encoding the above-described actinomyces-origin neutral metalloprotease transferred thereinto, allowing the microorganism to produce the actinomyces-origin neutral metalloprotease and then treating the microorganism-origin protransglutaminase therewith. L'invention concerne une métalloprotéase neutre issue d'actinomyces, permettant de couper le fragment pro-structural d'une protransglutaminase issue d'un micro-organisme, et un gène la codant. Une transglutaminase issue d'un micro-organisme activée, dont le fragment pro-structural a été excisé, peut être produite selon un procédé consistant à cultiver un micro-organisme à l'intérieur duquel le gène codant pour ladite métalloprotéase neutre issue d'actinomyces a été transféré, ce qui permet au micro-organisme de produire la métalloprotéase neutre issue d'actinomyces, puis à traiter la protransglutaminase issue du microorganisme avec celle-ci.
