The present invention provides a novel nucleoside oxidase YT-1 serving as an enzyme for catalyzing oxidation reaction ofa nucleoside, and oxidase being characterized in that the ox- idase causes the nucleoside to react with molecular oxygen to produce a nucleoside-5'- earboxylic acid via a nucleoside-5'-aldehyde without producing hydrogen peroxide, a process for producing the enzyme, a novel micro- organism having ability to produce the enzyme, and a novel analysis or assay method for nucleosides and the like utilizing the enzyme.

A process for expressing proteins in Gram(-) bacteria and providing for extracellular secre- tion thereof, comprising the steps: a) introducing into a Gram(-) bacterium a recombinant DNA construction comprising a promoter, a signal sequence enabling translocation and processing, and a structural gene encoding the desired pro- tein to be expressed; b) cultivating the bacterium under conditions resulting in filamentous growth; and c) recovering the extraceUularly secreted protein; a recombinant DNA construc- tion comprising: a promoter, a signal sequence and a structural gene including a cleavage re- gion, wherein the structural gene is of the formula: See Patent for Tabular Presentation PS where n is an integer ) or = 1, m is an integer, Y is a DNA sequence encoding a desired protein and E and B are the genes corresponding to the pro- tein A regions E and B, with the proviso that the structural gene is different from that encoding natural protein A; a plasmid vector comprising such recombinant DNA construction; a Gram(-) bacterium harbouring said recombinant DNA construction; and proteins obtained by such pro- cess.

Ubiquitin hydrolase is provided having a purity of at least 70% homogeneity based on the weight of the total protein in the composition, which hydrolase hydrolyzes a ubiquitin-polypeptide conjugate at the amide bond linking the ubi- quitin and polypeptide, thereby yielding intact polypeptide with an unconjugated, mature N-
