BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The prostate specific antigen (PSA) was first purified from prostatic tissue (Wang et al. Invest Urol 1979), but the same protein was almost simultaneously and independently characterized in the seminal plasma (Hara et al. J Lab Clin Med 1989; Graves et al. N Engl J Med
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention related generally to novel molecules and more particularly novel proteinaceous molecules involved in or associated with regulation of cell activities and/or viability. The present invention is particularly directed to novel serene proteinases and a novel

FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The invention relates to an enzyme, arginine deiminase. In particular, it relates to a unique arginine deiminase isolated from mycoplasmas. More particularly, the invention is directed to a mycoplasmal proteinase K resistant arginine deiminase and to a method of preparing
BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION
Proteinases form a substantial group of biological molecules which to date constitute approximately 2% of all the gene products identified following analysis of several completed genome sequencing programmes. Proteinases have evolved to participate in an enormous range of

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Full length active .alpha..sub.1 proteinase inhibitor (.alpha..sub.1PI, .alpha..sub.1 antitripsin) is composed of 394 amino acids (aa) having a mass of approximately 55 kDa when fully glycosylated (Berninger, 1985). Hepatocytes are the primary source of .alpha..sub.1PI,
