Abstract

A purpose of the present invention is to provide a recombinant expression technique for producing a protein glutaminase in which decreases in thermostability are suppressed. A complex protein glutaminase according to the present invention is a thrombin cleavage product of a mutant propolypeptide comprising a propolypeptide sequence which includes a pro-sequence and a mature sequence of protein glutaminase, wherein a thrombin recognition sequence is introduced into a C-terminal region of the pro-sequence. The complex protein glutaminase includes: (A) a pro-sequence peptide having an N-terminal cleavage fragment of the thrombin recognition sequence at the C-terminal thereof; and (B) a mature protein glutaminase having a C-terminal cleavage fragment of the thrombin recognition sequence at an N-terminal thereof. Said complex protein glutaminase has an improved thermal denaturation temperature compared to non-complex protein glutaminases.
