A cDNA encoding the complete precursor of aFasciola hepaticacathepsin L protease was isolated and sequenced. Functionally active enzyme was expressed and secreted bySaccharomyces cerevisiaetransformed with a plasmid carrying the complete gene. Experiments with temperature‐sensitive yeast mutants showed that the enzyme is trafficked through the yeast secretory pathway. Yeast transformed with a truncated gene, which lacked the pre‐peptide‐encoding and most of the pro‐peptide‐encoding sequences, did not express funtionally active enzyme. The yeast‐expressed enzyme exhibited physico‐chemical properties in common with the native enzyme including, pH optimum for activity, stability at 37°C and ability to cleave gelatin and immunoglobulin. Enzyme kinetic data showed that the native and yeast‐expressed cathepsin L1 have similar specificities for substrates with hydrophobic residues in the P2position. This is the first report of the functional expression of a cathepsin L proteinase inS. cerevisiaethat did not require the use of yeast secretory signal sequences.
