NEW GENES CODING NEW PROTEOLYTIC ENZYMES Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC C12N15/57 C12N9/48 C12N15/00 C12N15/63 C12N1/21 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: recovered polynucleotide coding aminopeptidase containing a nucleotide sequence presented in the description is presented. Also, polynucleotide hybridised with said polynucleotide in the high stiffness environment is presented. An expression vector containing said polynucleotide, and an applicable host cell are described. Polypeptide related to the sequence presented in the description and being aminopeptidase is presented. A method of producing said polypeptide involving the stages of applicable host cell transformation by said polynucleotide or vector, cell cultivations in the medium adequate for said polynucleotide expression, and optional polypeptide purification from said cell or culture medium is offered. Besides, there has been described diagnostic technique for Aspergillus-infection in an organism involving the stages: a) recovery of a biological sample from said organism which is supposed to be Aspergillus infected, b) recovery of nucleic acid from said sample, c) determination whether said recovered nucleic acid contains polynucleotides hybridised with polynucleotide recovered from Aspergillus niger.

EFFECT: invention allows diagnosing Aspergillus-infection in the organism.
