Human mast‐cell chymase (EC 3.4.21.39) is a chymotrypsin‐like serine protease that is stored in and released from mast‐cell granules. This enzyme has been expressed inPichia pastorisby homologous recombination of the cDNA coding for the mature active chymase into thePichiagenome. Cells producing the highest levels of recombinant human chymase were selected by activity screening and they were grown in a fermentor. Methanol induction resulted in the secretion of active chymase into thePichiagrowth media and increasing levels of enzyme were detected in the media for 5 days. Active enzyme was purified from the culture media with a 22% yield of activity by a simple two‐step procedure involving hydrophobic‐interaction chromatography followed by affinity chromatography on immobilized heparin. The major peak from the heparin column contained a single band of 30.6 kDa on SDS/PAGE. The purified recombinant human chymase was 96% active and the yield was 2.2 mg/l of growth media.
