An extracellular alkaline serine protease (called DHAP), produced by a Bacillus pumilus strain, demonstrates significant dehairing function. This protease is purified by hydrophobic interaction chromatography, ion exchange, and gel filtration. DHAP had a pI of 9.0 and a molecular weight of approximately 32,000 Dalton. It shows maximal activity at pH 10 and with a temperature of 55degreesC; the enzyme activity can be completely inhibited by phenylmethylsulfonyl fluoride (PMSF) and diisopropyl fluorophosphates (DFP). The first 20 amino acid residues of the purified DHAP have been determined with a sequence of AQTVPYGIPQIKAPAVHAQG. Alignment of this sequence with other alkaline protease demonstrates its high homology with protease from another B. pumilus strain.
