prpL
Function
Lysine-specific endoprotease (PubMed:12419815). Involved in corneal virulence.
Post-translational modifications
Experiments performed in E.coli. Processing of pro-endopeptidase to mature endopeptidase is probably autocatalytic, as mutations in the probable active site residues prevent processing, and purified inactive pro-endopeptidase disappears in the presence of active endopeptidase.
Sequence Similarities
Belongs to the peptidase S1 family.
Cellular localization
- Secreted
- Experiments performed in E.coli.
Alternative names
PA4175, prpL, Lysyl endopeptidase, Protease IV, PvdS-regulated endoprotease
