Posttranslational Modification | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
proteolytic modification | the enzyme needs to be heat-activated for 1 h at 90°C in activation buffer containing 10 mM HEPES, 1 mM CaCl2, pH 8.0, through autoproteolytical cleavage of its N-terminal pro-region from the 55 kDa inactive proform to the 36 kDa active form. The cleavage site of the proregion appears to be between Gln92 and Ala93 | Aeropyrum pernix |

General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
additional information | pernisine is a subtilisin-like serine protease (i.e., a subtilase) with the catalytic triad of Asp149, His184 and Ser355. Catalytic nucleophile Ser355 has an important role in pernisine activity, but not in its activation process | Aeropyrum pernix |
